Charity Patients
WHEN HEALTHCARE IS LIMITED

Treating Charity Patients

Charity or uninsured patients do not receive adequate health care. They cannot afford it as hospitals charge them to four times more than those with healthcare coverage (The Associated Press, 2004). Hospitals explain that the steep charges are meant to cover the increasing costs of indigent care. These patients who are already financially crippled are furthermore subjected to aggressive debt collectors. About 43 million Americans have no health insurance. Insurers typically spent less than $10,000 for a heart attack treatment at a hospital in 2002 as compared to charity patients' incurring an average of $30,000. (The Associated Press).

Literature Review

A Universal Healthcare Suggested

Many hospitals refuse to allow discounts or a negotiation of patients' bills out of fear of violating federal fraud and abuse laws (The Associated Press, 2004). The Health and Human Services Department issued guidelines to help hospitals and other health facilities to accommodate….

Charity
If I had $1 million dollars to donate to charity tomorrow, the charity to which my donation would go would be to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital. St. Jude's is an organization that was started several decades ago to research and treat, what it calls, catastrophic diseases, specifically in children. St. Jude's is especially known for its success with researching and treating forms of cancer in children. It is a tragic world in which we live wherein so many children are diagnosed with cancer. Often through or because of great tragedies are great achievements and even miracles made possible. I believe this is the case with St. Jude's hospital. Because of the harsh reality that cancer occurs in children, as well as a number of other terminal diseases, this research hospital, organization, and treatment center was established and because of this center, the quality of life for many children and….

John Doe, CEO

ecent Article in BW concerning Charity Accountability

This memo aims to address a recent and rather disturbing article in the March 24-30, 2005, Australian Business eview Weekly entitled "Charity Inc." I rather suggest that each of you obtain a copy and read it so as to get the full effect of what I am about to address. As I am sure you are all very well aware of our organizational objectives: "AngliCOD is a partnership between Anglicans in Australia and Anglicans in the developing world. We seek to respond to Jesus' gospel of love through works of compassion and justice. We provide emergency relief and work in cooperation with local churches to alleviate poverty through sustainable development." (AngliCOD, 2005)

An article such as this could have massive repercussions on our organization's ability to gain funding from existing and/or potential sources as well as having an adverse effect….

Case Study 3

This case is somewhat more complex than the two preceding, in that a great deal of variation in the tax implications exists depending on the type/purpose of the charitable organization and its plans for the property. If a house on Cape Cod somehow suited the tex-exmpt purpose of the charitable organization (e.g. It was used as a hospice for sick children that the organization cared for), then the amount of the deduction Mr. Kennedy could claim would be equal to the fair market value of the house, less the mortgage, or $700,000 (Hopkins 2005, pp. 136).

If, as is more likely, the donation cannot be used by the organization directly for its charitable purposes, there must be a long-term capital gains deduction for the amount of appreciation of the cottage. Mr. Kennedy's deduction would therefore be $350,000, or the amount he had actually paid for the house ($400,000 less….

It doesn't take long for them to realize that living among the "proper" ladies is not for them. Even sweet Charlotte is willing to do anything to get back home. (Freeman, 1887)
The author analyzes the way "upper-class" women gain their sense of identity by taking a charitable interest in their lower-class neighbors. It is this sense of moral superiority that is actually a form of take-over and domination since it is purchased at the expense of others. (Judith Fetterley, 2003)

Mistaken Charity focuses on womens' integrity, courage and, at times, privation.

In this story, Freeman shows how "rebellion" can be sometimes good and right.

Marketing
Market Segmentation

Ottawa-based charity AceWorks needs to segment its volunteer population and its donor population in order to create a stronger marketing plan. The objectives of this plan are to increase both volunteers and the number of donors. The plan should also encompass winning larger donations from existing donors.

With respect to donors, therefore, there are two target markets in the current donors and the future donors. Current donors are characterized by their existing interest in AceWorks and their belief in what we do. As AceWorks grows, however, we need some of our existing donors to match that growth with their commitment, in order that we continue our good work.

The second segment is future donors. These include corporations, charitable foundations the government and individual donors. Corporate donors donate both cash and goods or services in-kind. These donors have two primary motivations for donating. The first is because charitable donations are part of….

This level of sponsorship will also get ten tickets to the awards ceremony and four people invited to paly in the Pro-Am with local celebrities. Local cable television coverage of the event is planned, and at this level of contribution, two spokespersons from the company can be interviewed to discuss why they sponsored the event, further supporting their CS initiatives. These videos will be available on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter immediately following taping for future, global CS program support. Payment is required prior to the event.
Director's Circle of Care Sponsorship - This is the ultimate level of commitment to the cause of the charity event, and at $35,000 entitles the benefactor to an entire table at the awards ceremony, the opportunity to give the keynote at the ceremony, and five people playing the Pro-Am with a nationally recognized golfer or celebrity. The event will be branded with their name….

I know for anyone fighting cancer, they need as much rest as possible. When in the throws of this disease, whether it is the diagnosed or their friends and family, it can leave one with a feeling of helplessness. One of the strongest allies for those fighting cancer and one of the greatest enemies against cancer is the power of positive thinking. Those effected by cancer, least of all the patients, should have to worry about financial constrains or monetary hardship. When you have to worry about finances, it certainly impedes on one's ability to maintain a positive state of mind.

Battling cancer requires a mind free from unnecessary worry. This is one of the reasons why I am providing a donation to you. You should be freed from financial concern. It is a blessing and a privilege that I am able to help with your situation. I am thankful that….

An organization in Arizona called "Cops ho Care" on the other hand meets the needs of children by seeking cash donations that they then use to purchase toys for a large group of children every holiday season. The organization likely does so as a result of how the group got started. The original organization developed out of internal fund drives that asked officers to themselves give cash to help and then over the years they expanded to "pass the hat" among the whole community. They officers involved then had the plan and the infrastructure to purchase, wrap and distribute the toys they purchase, (Cops who Care ebsite) where as the Toy-for-Tots program began by seeking toys rather than cash. The Toys for Tots program utilizes cash to resolve what seems to be a universal problem in toy drives, in that many people when they shop for donated toys see only….

A more comprehensive explanation can then be provided to tell the person donating where there money goes and what something like a "gift card" will mean to the sponsor. This may motivate the sponsor to donate quickly and easily. The front page of the website also features a "latest news" section which can be distracting to visitors that want to get straight to the point. This information would best be placed in another section of the site by providing a navigational bar labeled "latest news" so that if a visitor wants to peruse information, they can, but they do not have to.
The front page also has a very large advertisement for "explore our gift catalog." Most people coming to the site for the first time will not know what a gift catalog is or why they would bother to review one. This site can substantially increase profits with very….

Smith's passage details Virginia's geography, outlining the different small settlements and their leaders. The passage shows how the settlers addressed and dealt with the native peoples: words like "savages" and "barbarians" shows how the settlers envisioned themselves as rightful heirs to the New World and thus had few qualms about massacring the Indians. One of the most historically significant features of Smith's chapter is his detailing the encounter with Powhattan and Pocahontas, a story that has become shrouded in myth and made into one of the most legendary tales in American history books. At the same time Smith also documents the hardships the settlers encountered from harsh weather and environmental conditions and shows what kinds of equipment the settlers had to deal with their tasks. John Smith paints himself as a hero, naturally, which has colored the tone and character of almost all American history texts.

Foundational Christian faith belief God actively involved His creation.
God is actively involved with His creation. Explain how this belief affects the way we interact with people within a chosen vocation

The fact that God is involved in his creation means that we too must be actively involved in his creation as well, as we are children of God. We must seek to serve one another just as Jesus strove to serve humanity. We cannot be passive recipients of God's grace and goodness: we must strive to make the world a better place. "The problem is not finding the needs of people in our lives; the problem is caring enough to act in a manner that is far different than perhaps we have acted previously."[footnoteef:1] To love one's neighbor as one's self means taking an active interest in his or her welfare. The need for intervention is constant: human beings are social….

Of these, proponents like Bruce W. Fraser (2005) quote studies and statistics that support the financial viability of corporate responsibility. One study is for example the one by Oekom Research, which indicates that of the 602 companies examined, the 186 companies with the highest sustainability rating also performed better financially than the 416 remaining companies, outperforming them by 23.4%.
Critics like Vogel are however not impressed by such numbers (tavins, 2006). The much wider studies cited and compared in his book appear to indicate that results like those mentioned by Fraser are both biased and too narrow to provide a true indication of the performance/responsibility ratio.

This is a debate that will probably last for a very long time. Nevertheless, other factors should also be taken into account, especially in terms of shareholders. hareholders as entities are changing together with the environment in which they function. An increasing number of shareholders….

They point out a practical instance of India when it was struck by disaster and there was overwhelming donation of clothes that Indian towns ended up chocking on these clothes. It forced the authorities to divert from the recovery process to helping in disposal of the piles of clothes that were spewed along the highways and streets.
There is yet another angle to the whole charity giving of clothes in particular. There are some areas or countries whose local textile industry has suffered immensely due to the emergence of the cheaper clothing whose origin is the charity donated clothes from USA. The fact that they are donated means they get into the overseas markets at a cheaper price hence attracting more demand over the locally manufactured clothes. The pressures of demand and supply hence makes it impossible for the local industry to cope, hence he well intended donations of clothes….

Donors want to be sure there is a purpose for their gift; they want to know their money will be used wisely and will make a difference in the lives of others.
It seems counterintuitive that long letters would make effective appeals, but Clark (as cited in Kluth) recommends long letters as the best means to evoke a response from potential donors. Clark cites research that has demonstrated time and again that long letters are effective. By "long," she means two-sided copy on standard business letterhead paper and up to three or four pages. Such letters provide donors with information on which to make their funding decisions. It is part of ensuring donors that their "hard-earned dollars" will be well spent on a mission that has a clear purpose and is well thought out in terms of implentation.
