For this project you will be creating a nonprofit organization of your choice that addresses needs that are not being met by local and or state government in Nevada. This must be related to Nevada only or a city/town in Nevada. This organization should address some inadequacy that politicians or policies have failed to address. (homelessness, deficits in education and students needing more help outside of school, human trafficking victims/children, deaf community, victims of gun violence, mental health patients, domestic violence victims (men/women, abused children, patient advocacy for victims of the medical system, an awareness group of some sort pertaining to food safety etc.)
These will be the steps that you will complete in order on a word document. No cover page or abstract required.
Step One: Organization Name
Step Two: Your Organization’s Mission (this will require research on your part to know what a mission should consist of.) 3-5 sentences minimum.
Step Three: Your Organization’s Vision/Purpose (what will your organization hope to accomplish?) 3-5 sentences minimum
Step Four: Pick five board members. These will not be specific people per say. You will have a Director and ideally four members (board member 1, CPA, etc.). What are their positions (Is one a lawyer? One an accountant?) For each person, please list their hypothetical title and what their qualifications should be. (degree requirement? years of experience? job history in nonprofit required? etc.) These should be quality descriptions of each person with no less than 5 sentences per person.
Step Five: Decide on the three programs that your organization will offer. You must have three distinct programs that you not only name, but provide a one paragraph description of each to receive full credit.
Step Six: Where will the money come from? (Donors, grants, government etc. – you will want to be specific about this). You need to be specific about where they money is coming from, why you chose this, and how it will be used.
Step Seven: 500 word reflection of this process and how you feel about it. Why is your non-profit important to the state of Nevada? If you were to present it in a hearing to the state legislature what would you say to be heard and to have your non-profit not only recognized, but supported? (A former student actually used this project to do just that)
Step Eight: Reference page with FULL APA citations that you use. You should have at least TWO scholarly sources. References are non-negotiable.
