Week 6

a) what I learned from the non-profit panel helped me decide that my organizations funds are well placed. What I also learned was that there are many organizations in our area need help to recieve money.

B) I learned that my group works well together. As a group we are understanding and layer back with fundraising but our plan is solid

week 7

a) I interviewed my mom because she knows how much I love best buddies and how I have a lot of passion for the cause. What she said that surprise me was that she knew from the biginning I the year when I joined best buddies she new instantly how much I loved it caused I talked about it all the time.

A) I learned that the “Best Buddies” program at Harmony is a complete non for profit. the teachers receive zero amount of the money they are donated, it goes straight to the students and the activities.

B) It is extremely important to look at the numbers of a company before you give them your money because you first need to make sure your money will be used wisely and that it can even make a difference. When my group looked at the tax return of Best Buddies as well as Give Kids the world it shows that both organizations spend their money extremely well, and the amount that goes towards the workers is very low so you also know they are doing it for the right reasons.
