WAYS FOR NONPROFIT ANALYSIS

Dear All

See the reflections on the ways for nonprofit analysis for the donor to decide which is posted at Social Edge as:
.........................................................................

The ways or the reflections for the points raised on "NON PROFIT ANALYSIS" are as follows:

1. What are the most critical elements that signal that a nonprofit is deserving of a donation?

Reflection: The critical elements which acts as basis to decide which nonprofit deserves a donation are:

@ Legal status - registration and continuity

@ Vision, Mission, Objectives - targeted groups and ways of addressing the
challenges under vulnerability.

@ Service Delivery Model / Channel - connectivity, level of participation,
affordability, need based strategies and adaptability.

@ Impact and success models - improvement, better living and holistic
development.

@ Financial Operations - mode of deposits, transactions, utilization and
reflections including acknowledgment.

2. What is the most meaningful financial information that can help a donor determine a nonprofit’s ability to sustain their organization?

Reflections: It includes:

@ Mode of the donation

@ Financial position and need of the organization

@ Balance sheet

3. What is the most meaning non-financial information that can help a donor determine a nonprofit’s ability to successful implement programs that work?

Reflections: The non financial information plays major role in deciding the capacity of the organization for implementing the programmes for which it is raising the donations as:

@ Organizational structure

@ Service models

@ Level of participation with the stakeholders and targeted groups

@ Networking and use of technologies for the state of art of technology /
service

4. What is the most meaningful information that can help a donor determine how much of a difference a nonprofit’s programs actual make?

Reflections: The gap between the plan and actual do work as a strong basis for raising the needs of the peopel as well as the orgnaization which includes in terms of:

@ Percentage of physical achievement

@ Level of impact in the living both quantitatively and qualitatively

@ The change in the attitude of the stakehlders

@ Level of particiation


5. Since much of the information of interest to nonprofit analysts is released only on a voluntary basis by nonprofits, how should they react when some charities share substantive information, revealing weaknesses and past failures, while the vast majority share no substantive information?

Reflections: In view of the Acts and Policies, paradigm shift took place in the concept and working of the non profit organization known as NGOs. The concept of service from the traditional voluntary or charity has been moved as right based strategies. This further resulted to:

@ Beneficiary to manager of their own rehabilitation / development

@ Government and Service Providers (NGOs) to facilitator.

@ Welfare moved to developmental activity

@ Exclusion to inclusion.

In view of these shifts, nonprofits has to work with participation and accountability in transparent environment. Under these circumstances, every stakeholder has got the right to know and to share or disseminate the information. In view of use of e-technologies Like: mails, websites, blogs, forums, networks, documents,nothing is there to hide and everything will be evidence based and open to all. It certainly helps the nonprofits to showcase their skills/ capacities and to raise its needs for mobilizing resources(MMM: Manpower, Machinery and Money)


Hope this information helps the donor to decide the eligibility of the nonprofits for extending the support.

I am with the government and nonprofits with the aim of empowering the people for their rights and thus to create better access with barrier free environment as an inclusion.
