The is about a non-profit organization. The organization I picked was the United Negro College Fund. Below are the questions that must be answered in the essay. I also included the minimum requirements for the paper after the questions below. A. Did the organization turn a profit, sustain a loss, or break even? Was this appropriate given the circumstances the organization is facing? B. Would you invest, give, or donate to the organization? Why or why not? C. What is your assessment of the overall financial health of the organization, and what is their economic outlook? (Hint: you might use ratio analysis to form your thoughts and conclusions) D. How much money was spent on administrative and overhead costs versus program costs? How does this affect the organization’s ability to serve it’s constituents? E. What are the positive and negative internal and external factors that have impacted the entity? What is the organization doing to overcome these challenges? F. What are their streams of revenue and funding structure? How much of that revenue is from fundraising efforts, grants (federal, corporate, and foundations), and charges for program services, etc.? Is the division of revenue streams appropriate based on their mission and goals? G. How did they get started? What is the catalyst that drove formation of the organization? You should open your paper with a brief discussion of the history and general overview of the organization. The paper should be a minimum of three pages long, single-spaced, in 12-point font. References must be included, but will not be counted as part of minimum page count. The paper should be submitted in the Assignments section. Your paper will be graded as a deliverable designed to show your mastery of the presentation of ideas, use of resources, references (APA/Chicago Style format in text citation and properly presented “Works Cited”), originality, and appropriate style and grammar. And just as a warning (because it happens a lot), do not plagiarize your paper or simply paraphrase information from the web because I will know if you did. I want to see original thought.
