...Alternative funding can go different ways for the PEACE Domestic Violence Agency. When coming up with ideas for alternative funding, PEACE must plan, have a positive attitude and be determined. Some steps taken in raising funds are critical such as readiness, research, reality, request and relationship between you and donor. The board of directors of the PEACE Domestic Violence Agency will provide readiness material to distribute to all staff, such as the fund raising plan, purpose and expectations. Research is the beginning of needed knowledge that helps lead to the right donors by reviewing their giving patterns and strategic areas of interest of these donors. A list of possible donors may be of local businesses old and new, volunteers near and far and the public. Reality is a step that indicates the best prospect. A strategy need to be formed for each prospect. For example, men, women and children have been affected by domestic violence. Education, health, awareness and some tender loving care of these victims will help promote healing for these victims. A local spa may be expressed to of the benefit of their donation short term and long term. An expression that a donation of a free mini spa treatment can boost stress relief of the victims and help promote advertisement as well. Another example may be to local shelters that are up and running that is always turning away people because lack of room, by offering a proposal of joining forces to meet the same goal of...

...I am sure that not many people remember the TV series "Veronica Mars", or for that matter, have ever heard of it, but it was a show about a female high school sleuth, with a very overdramatic plot, and sub par acting. The series ran for three seasons before it was canceled in 2007 due to poor ratings. Well, thanks to crowdfunding website kickstarter.com, the series may see a resurrection to the big screen, thanks to a last dich effort by its creator, Rob Thomas. After failing to receive the necessary funding from studio execs, Thomas made a final push to fund the project by turning to Kickstarter. Within 10 hours of posting the initiative the project met its $2 million goal, and has, at the time of this writing, raised over $3.8 million and is still climbing. So what? Projects, including independent films, get funded on Kickstarter all the time. The big deal is that Warner Bros is the studio producing this film. That is a giant studio. Not a camera, a computer, and some basic editing software in some kids garage. This is the first time that such a film produced by a major studio has been entirely funded through Kickstarter. This could create a stir in studios. Imagine seeing the next Avengers movie on Kickstarter. How long would it take for comic book fans and action movie lovers to raise the money necessary to cover the cost of production? My guess would be probably not long at all. Studios may turn to platforms such as Kickstarter to fund project and not have to pay out...

...Memo and Business Letter Student’s Name: Institution: Memo TO: CSU Funding campaign team members FROM: Yuqing and William DATE: February 5, 2014 SUBJECT: Funding for CSU This memo is a reminder of the meeting we have today. The agenda of the meeting is to talk about what we discussed and to get opinions on the matter. As the campaign group for the CSU funding, it is proper that we use all means and to gather all that is in our disposal for the task. We discussed on how we can acquire funding, and we agreed that we should not limit our campaign to only seeking finances. The essence of this program is to help increase CSU’s finances so that it can services its activities. This can be achieved through the provision finances and by enforcing measures to cut down costs. CSU has tried such measures, in the past, to cut down on its spending. It has done so by increasing its technology use to replace costly manual systems and by sharing services between departments and campuses. In our discussion, we suggested on the same idea that campaigning for funding does not exclusively mean seeking funds. We, therefore, discussed that if we can get people to volunteer, tutor or pursue internship programs, it would be a good measure of cutting down costs. Salary expenses are a significant part of the overall expenses and reducing these costs saves a lot of money for CSU. We also proposed that the target audience, for this plan of the campaign, is the graduates. Students do not have...

...Chemical Dependency Counseling in Prison Financial Contingency Planning is essential to the success of any chemical dependency counseling program. There are many problems that can surface in the financial sector of the organizations and can result in high costs for the organization. A contingency plan in place can reduce the harmful effects of the challenge that surfaces. The development of financial contingency plan is through strategic scenario planning and develops the actions to be employ only upon the occurrence of anticipated future events. A contingency plan will protect the chemical dependency program from unforeseen threats or events that could interrupt the success of the program. This requires the source of revenue to be readily available to the chemical dependency counseling program in prison. Public-Private Partners However, for any financial contingency plan to be successful there needs to be sources of revenue available. One source of revenue is the public-private partner. There are many forms of the public-private partner that can be put to use by the program. The Operations and Management model involves a public partner (federal, state, or local government agency or authority) who contracts with a private partner to provide or maintain a specific service (North, 2011). Through O&M, the public partner retains control over the chemical dependency program and retains management control. The next type of public-private partnership is the Operations...

... HSM/270 Grants play a very big and important role in the human services field. Grants are needed to provide human service funding for programs that can help people in their time of need. Without grants funding these programs would fail. Funding helps to provide the required funding to pay for some human service programs and the workers needed to run these programs. While donations and fees are crucial to human service nonprofits, many organizations rely heavily on revenues from government contracts and grants to expand their reach. Grants are more vital to some programs more than others in the human services field. There are grants for programs that help out a community that has been hit with a disaster, and the grants that help fund the needs of programs like that are very vital in order to build back communities and help those in need in those hard times. Other programs that grants are vital to include programs such as programs for abused children, homeless families, and programs that feed the hungry. There are several programs that need funding provided by grants in order to help people in time of need, but some are need grants to run more than others in order to provide the care that people may need. In all, grants play a very important role in helping people who rely on human service programs who's main funding is from the grants that they...

...Tourism BETTER FUNDING FOR STATE TOURISM ORGANIZATIONS An almost universal problem for state tourism organizations is the scarcity of funding. Budgets are tight with so many social and other problems plaguing the states. Also, there is some reluctance to fund the tourism promotion organization by those who feel mistakenly that it is mainly the tourist businesses that profit from the industry rather than the population in general. Competition for state funds by other agencies is intense and, as a rule, the tourism people do not as good as lobbying as other interest groups. In order to do something at this regard, the Governor appointed a 40-member tourism task force to investigate ways in which tourism promotion could be accomplished in a more adequate manner. The task force has come up with the following plan: they recommend that the state legislature establish a “tourism marketing order” to raise funds from assessments the industry makes upon itself about the way in which each business should contribute to funding. Businesses that would be assessed include transportation companies, travel agencies, cruise lines, rental car companies, accommodations, attractions, recreation facilities, restaurants, retail outlets, factory outlets, and bars/drinking places. All funds raised would be used for state-wide tourism promotion. In order to implement this plan, the state legislature must first authorize a statewide referendum that would be conducted by the industry among...

...January 16, 2009 To Whom It May Concern: I am writing you on behalf of our Headstart Program. As you may not be aware, our program is primarily a federally funded organization. We get the majority of our funding from the Department of Health and Human Services in the form of a grant. With this grant we are able to provide services in fourteen migrant and seasonal head start centers. As a grant requirement we must meet a twenty percent matching requirement (In-kind), which is extremely tough to meet in the rural areas that we operate. We are now nearing the end of our 2008-2009 season and are asking for donations in order to reach our required match. A donation can be in the form of many things such as, cash, office supplies, curriculum approved education supplies, supplies to maintain our centers, hygiene supplies, etc. If you would like to donate to our program please contact Susie Smith at (208) 453-1111. She will be able to supply you with a receipt and can provide you with any other information you may need. If our program is unable to meet the required amount of In-kind, it could have a huge impact on our children, families and communities. Our funding would be cut back and therefore result in a reduction in services to our families. In our rural communities it is extremely important that we all stick together. It would be very detrimental if we were unable to provide services to so many families that desperately need it. Any help you can provide...

...Case Study What is the core role of lifesaving clubs and agencies? Its mission statement states in part that its role is ‘to lead, support, collaborate, with national and international organisations engaged in drowning prevention, water safety, water rescue, lifesaving, lifeguarding, and lifesaving sport’ (www.ilsf.org). What are their likely source of income, and why? Lifesaving clubs and agencies rely heavily on the supply of public funding by the government. The costs associated with the development of sport such as building or improvement of facilities is usually funded by the government. The government/State heavily funds lifesaving clubs and agencies. It is because the State believes that it can improve the well being of society by its various interventions. (Hoye, Russel. 2006, p. 20). This type of intervention falls under the neo-liberalism ideology. It was found that ‘neo-liberals believe government should not engage directly in most economic activity, but rather provide only base level infrastructure, legislative guidelines within which private business can thrive’ (Hoye, Russel. 2006, p. 27). How feasible would it to get the people being rescued to actually fund the operations of lifesaving clubs and agencies? It will not be feasible for the people being rescued to fund the operations because the cost of running the lifesaving clubs and agencies are huge. The amount of money channelled to the lifesaving clubs and agencies by the State to the clubs...

...Finances Cassandra Peavey HSM/240 UOP Finances The majority of the funding for the National Coalition for the Homeless comes from the support of the public, foundations, and different organizations (national homeless.org). Many funders are churches and faith based organizations who seek out the mission to end homelessness. The NCH is a nonprofit organization and has been ranked a Four-Star Charity by Charity Navigator in 2009. Due to the NCH being a national foundation, there are many different resources and organizations that will continue to fund this program. With all of the churches and local businesses within areas of where homeless exist, there will always be charities that will be put forth to help the homeless find homes and jobs, and in other cases, medical services. In my home town there is a place called “The Mission”, which is a shelter for homeless men to go until they can get on their feet and make it on their own. The local churches support this house and pay for all utilities and provide food for all who live here. The reliability of funding for this organization is pretty good considering the organization has been funded for the past thirty four years. Since this is a nonprofit organization the funding for this organization is all charity based. Individuals who work for this organization do it to help others. All finances go towards ending homelessness which involves food, shelter, and offering counsel to those who are experiencing homelessness...

...decrease in HIV prevalence among key populations at higher risk, people who inject drugs (PWID) and female sex workers (FSW) in some provinces, while prevalence trends remain stable or have increased in other provinces. According to 2011 sentinel surveillance, HIV prevalence among PWID and FSW remains high, at 13.4% and 3% respectively; IBBS data indicate that prevalence among men who have sex with men (MSM) also remains high, at 16.7%. The distribution of HIV cases largely follows the distribution of these three populations, though they are not absent in non-urban communities). Overall adult HIV prevalence (ages 15-49) remained at 0.45% in 2011.

These include the Budget and Management Services, City Clerk, City Manager, Development Services, Finance, Fire, Hosing and Neighborhoods, Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources, Public Affairs, and others that help maintain the city and surrounding areas throughout the year.
