Non Profit Concept
Concepts in Non-Profit Leadership
This account centers on the activities of a non-profit group called Teacher's Resource Fund. The purpose of the non-profit is to assist teachers who must spend their own money for classroom resources such as books, games and visual aids for lesson plans. The non-profit would award grants to selected teachers for the purposes of buying more and better in class materials while spending less of their own money.
The conceptual basis for its success must begin with effective strategic planning. According to our primary text, "the strategic planning process begins with a thorough examination of your organization's mission as it relates to its internal and external environment." (4) This means that for our organization, which centers its operation on the needs which are precipitated by the current circumstances in professional education, it is necessary to consider both the internal realities of executing our primary interests and of understanding the needs in the current field. Specifically, there is a need to establish an internal plan as to how we might best execute such areas of importance as grant analysis, financial allotment and the hiring or personnel. Simultaneously, strategic planning would demand an analysis of such external factors as the economic realities facing schools, the unique circumstances for individual teachers and factors relating to available resources from government and private industry.
This feeds into a second concept of importance which concerns the targeting of goals. (17) Here, our capacity to meet the interests cited by the Mission is tested as we define some clear expected outcomes as a product of our efforts. Namely, we might identify such goals as selected 100 teachers annually who might qualify for the assistance which we have offered. This would involve the preemptive determination of criteria for qualification as well as a determination of available financial resources for the execution of this ambition.
A final concept due for consideration here, monitoring the implementation of our plan will also be instrumental to its success. As a trial program, this will likely see varying degrees of success and failure. It is appropriate therefore to establish a streamlined approach to evaluating the effectiveness met in reaching our goals and to providing routes for improvement where goals are not met.

It is important to set the overall goals, as well as the smaller, intermediate goals, which must be achieved in order to attain the greater objective. The greater goal is that of raising funds, and examples of intermediate goals include the selection of a suitable location or the attraction of wealthy contributors. The benefit of paying attention to setting achievable goals materializes in a gradual and punctual attainment of
Non-profits need to develop ways in which their funding for overhead can be more stable, one way to do this is to develop funding sources such as revenue from sales and other sources an example the Goodwill can boast it has been remarkably successful at.
