Donate to Charity Reason why to donate to charity

According to Kate Santich, 2011,“In 2010, there were 48.8 million Americans--or almost one in six--that confronted hunger or food insecurity, meaning people who are able to stave off hunger only by turning to charity or buying cheap, nutritionally void food that would fill their stomachs”

President Bush has long insisted that faith-based organizations and charities do a better job of helping the needy than government-provided services. “Governments can hand out money,” he told the first White House Conference on Faith-Based and Community Initiatives in 2004, “but governments cannot put love in a person's heart, or a sense of purpose in a person's life.”

But aid alone is not enough. Ultimately, development depends on two things: governance and growth. By governance, I mean governments having the capacity to deliver for their citizens, to improve health and education and tackle poverty.

    Identifying the appropriate questions to direct and guide the researcher is potentially the most important element in the research process. Unfortunately; like many problem sets, the questions regarding the funding of nonprofits are not clear and concise and all aspect should be carefully considered. Nonprofit organizations span from social and recreational clubs to major public charities and human services. Has the Federal government and State financial reductions affected all of the nonprofits equally? If not, how have the cutbacks differed among the different elements and types of nonprofit…

    The current challenges facing United Way were raising money to pay for general operational cost, recruiting and keeping fundraisers, and when celebrities donate large amount discourage others that may not be able to afford to give that much charity. Another challenge United Way was facing was that people who donated wanted to know where or what their money were used for. This opposed a challenge because United Way were not a charity that had one single focus like those that focused their attentions on one disaster, for example, 9/11 or Katrina. Key issues in the general and non-profit charitable giving industry environments that affect United Way’s operations are that trends have taken place where donations have declined over the years. Charities have fallen by 11 percent and represent the worst declined in 20 years.…

With the rising food cost and the fallen economy it is a no brainer as to why we have 49.1 million people living in food insecure homes.

    The Legend Of The Big Push Analysis

    Easterly explores just how helpful foreign aid actually is. He first assesses the the legend of the “poverty trap.” Through comparing growth rates between the poorest fifth of countries and the other four fifths, Easterly explains that there is no distinguishable difference in the rates. Perhaps the strong case of evidence against the poverty trap legend is that eleven out of the twenty-eight poorest countries in 1985 were not in the poorest fifth in 1950. This means that instead, countries had declined from above; while those thought to be in the poverty trap have actually emerged ahead. Thus, there cannot be such thing as a poverty trap. Easterly does take into account individual cases such as Chad and the Democratic Republic of the Congo which experienced zero and negative per capita growth rates respectively. However, those seem to be outlying cases that are present in almost any type of research. Botswana strongly supports Easterly’s argument against the poverty trap. Botswana went from being the fifth poorest country in 1950 to increasing its income thirteen times by…

    Political Rhetorical Analysis

    Mr. Bush and many of his supporters believed that “Charities and faith-based programs should not be forced to change their character or compromise their mission” (Wilhelm and Williams para. 14-15). One such supporter was, The Christian Legal Society’s director of advocacy, Gregory S. Baylor. Mr. Baylor suggested “Unleashing the ‘armies of compassion’ isn’t a mere slogan – it’s exactly what we hope will happen as outdated regulatory roadblocks are removed” (Wilhelm and Williams para. 25). While no one wants to argue against “armies of compassion”, or support turning people away from helping others, simply because they practice a belief system and cannot afford to give this help without government funding, e.g. taxpayers paying the bill, this all does lead to some serious contradictory views from the other side of the…

    African Americans Without Foreign Aid

    In Thanks Bono, but No Thanks, Jamie Drummond talks about how good aid is beneficial to African countries. “Good aid, what he calls ‘smart aid,’ which helps people build businesses and take care of their own children—is not only beneficial, it's necessary. Without it, people would die.” In that quote, he explains how good aid that keeps people alive and well is necessary in poor regions of Africa. People living in situations like in South African slums or selling secondhand clothing in Zambia usually have an extremely hard time taking care of children and starting businesses up. Good aid gives them a boost, not money to leech off of, so they can start up a better life. If aid is donated to a responsible organization that will make sure the money gets to people who need it and will put it towards growth, then aid will work in poor African…

    Sororities

    Sororities are commonly known as a college social club or organization for women, with particular distinction given to the African American sororities. Brought about at the time in history when traditional roles of women were being challenged, the founders of the first black sororities had to overcome the stereotypical views of sexism as well. They were considered unique, although college wasn’t really an option for African American’s. Within society they were being treated in rejection because they were black. They wanted to have an organization that would be called sisterhood and ties into their community. Nine dedicated women wanted peace, sisterhood and wanted to become leaders amongst their communities so they formed the first African American sorority in 1908 called Alpha Kappa Alpha. With over a quarter of a millions members in the black sororities numbers are increasing over the years. They continue to be a part of their communities and educate youth in their community. When actual Greek letters were formed for sororities and fraternities white letter groups didn’t think black fraternity groups would be capable of understanding the meanings of the letters and Greek study as they did.…

    Hunger In America

    Hunger is not caused by a lack of food alone, but also by the continued poverty many people face. According to the Census Bureau in 2014, 14.8 percent of Americans live in poverty. This number was lower, but has increased over the past four years. About every one in every four workers in the United States brings home wages that are below the poverty level. Many of these workers have families. The average weekly cost to feed a family of four is $216. If workers are bringing home wages below or at the poverty level, providing for their family is a huge struggle. 100 million Americans are considered poor or near poor. With so many people who are food insecure, the numbers of hungry and poor Americans are very high.…

    Foreign Aid

    Foreign Aid

    Good afternoon, Madame Speaker, patient time keeper, worthy opponents, interested onlookers and my most esteemed colleague. Today my partner and I are here to debate on the topic ‘Be it resolved that countries who supply foreign aid should reallocate their resources to development at “home”. In this case, we define “home” as the countries that supply foreign aid to others, countries that instead could be investing their money into themselves and improving upon their own country. The term foreign aid refers to financial assistance that is provided on intergovernmental or international level. It involves the transfer of resources such as capital, goods and services from the donor to recipient countries. There can be varied reasons for giving foreign aid, such as economic, political, strategic as well as cultural; however the most important reason being for foreign aid is the augmenting of economic development of the recipient country. These recipient countries are those who are less developed, and are characterized by low income and unemployment thus resulting in low savings and investment. Therefore, capital stock is small in these countries, while population growth is comparatively high. These countries decide to turn to richer countries for external help and are provided with foreign aid. Now, as the pro side, we are here today to prove that the resolution must and will stand. I would like to focus on two points, the first one being the usage of foreign aid. Foreign aid is generated by federal taxes, basically money taken from the general household. I am sure anyone can say that in especially Canada, taxes are way too high. The numbers actually work out to an average of 42% of a family’s income going to various taxes. This foreign aid is definitely a burden to taxpayers, as it means that even more money is needed to be taken away from us, and not to improve anything in our country, anything affecting our lives, anything around us,…
