Is it legal for a religious organization to make a contribution?

November 62010

A local religous organization has made a monetary contribution to a campaign to retain in office some of our state judges. Judges are appointed, not elected, but they can be voted out of office in an election. There is a current effort to vote out some of our state Supreme Court justices and a religious organization made this contribution to the effort to retain them. Is this legal? Either way, please give citations. Thanks!

If a non-profit organization contributes to a political campaign they seriously risk their 501c3 status. The IRS seriously frowns on these kinds of things.

What kind of organization could I start to help animals?

November 42010

I want to start an organization in my local community to help animals, but I need some ideas on what I could do. Any suggestions?

first figure out how you want to help. exp help shelter with pet food or beds, or take money to a shelter ext. you could have a donation yard sell and all benefits go to animal shelter or ask for people to turn in unwanted dog beds blankets and collars food bowls treats shampoos ext to you and at the end of the month donate them after they have been cleaned

What are the two types of organization used in compare and contrast essays?

November 12010

What are the two types of organization used in compare and contrast essays? What are the steps of organization? What happens if you skip a step?

I would introduce the topic in the intro paragraph and then depending on how long your paper needs to be, develop a couple compare topics and a couple contrast topics in the body paragraphs. I always find it helpful to look at examples to better understand how to write specific types of essays:

Just started an organization to help people with eating disorders and restore confidence, where do I start?

October 302010

How does one begin to help restoring confidence to people with extremely low egos? Also, if you are interested in helping beyond answering this question or joining my organization, please visit on face book. It’s called "rise above size zero"
Ok, so I would like to rephrase this, I started this organization but don’t know how to fun an organization, I DO know a lot about eating disorders. I have had friends who suffer from severe eating disorders and suffered from one myself and have been learning aboout it because I really WANT to help other people in this situation. However, I don’t know how to organize this, how to make it work. I have the information that could help but I don’t know how to spread the word and get people together. Thank you to those of you who were more patient with me.
p.s. visit us on facebook, the organization is rise above size zero

I think that’s the coolest thing in the world. I am so happy that there are others out there who enjoy helping people. You can start looking for people on the internet that are willing to talk and email the people with the eating disorders. I would love to talk to them and help them. I answer a lot of questions on this website with people with personal problems such as suicide, eating disorders, etc. I would love to help someone out! I am 16 and have been through a lot so I know how it feels when you need someone to talk to. If you need me to talk to anyone feel free to email me or give me their email. My email is thalili3@aol.com

Does an organization set itself objectives and then attempt to meet those objectives ? Is that all ?

October 272010

Won’t it be necessary to keep repeating this sequence of "set objectives, try to meet those objectives" ?

Doesn’t the organization want to maintain an audit trail of all previous attempts at problem solution, which it can use to attempt to extrapolate to the real problem.

No that is not all a good organization does. Your first followup question is correct. Organizations should always reevaluate their status and situation and modify objectives based on changing circumstances and passed successes or failures.

They do in fact also want to maintain a history of what they have done. That does not really follow the definition of an "audit trail." Your second comment really deals with a different issue. Broad objective and goal setting is different from problem resolution.

What is the best organization to donate hair to?

October 222010

I have been growing my hair out for a long time and it is finally time to cut it. However, I am unsure of what organization to donate to for I have heard some bad things about various organizations. I will have about 10-11 inches, where is the best place for me to donate my hair while knowing it will be given to a cancer patient for free?

Locks of Love is a great organization for hair donation.
Just a suggestion: I know Matter of Trust (another non-profit organization) is also accepting hair donations for the purpose of oil spill recovery (in the gulf). Hair is highly porous and absorbent, making it a great choice for oil clean up. They also accept donations of stockings and other nylon products, for the purpose of cleaning up oil spills.

Which organization is the best to get my dog therapy certified?

October 192010

This has been a long time coming and my dog is finally ready to take her test to become a therapy dog. However, I can’t decide on the best organization to go through: Delta, Therapy Dog International, or The Good Dog Foundation?
Looks like I’m going with Delta.

Love on a Leash also looks good, but is far from my home and doesn’t have the same availability that Delta does.

Thanks everyone!

I have experience with the Delta Society and Therapy Dogs International. My preference is for Delta for two main reasons:

1. They are far more accessible than TDI. In the 2 years I was with TDI they never once answered the phone or responded to an email from me. Delta, on the other hand has always answered the phone with a live person and has always responded to emails within 24 hours.

2. The Delta test is more thorough. If I was a facility considering a therapy dog program I would definitely prefer teams certified by Delta because their screening is more thorough.

What organization has legal authority to set accounting policies in the US?

October 172010

What organization had legal authority to set accounting policies in the United States? Dose this organization write most of the accounting rules in the United States? Explain.

Based on a book I recently finished reading entitled, "Nonprofit Bookkeeping & Accounting for Dummies" by Sharon Farris, the answer to your main question is the FASB – Financial Accounting Standards Board.

I’m not an accountant, just a guy starting a nonprofit corporation, so here’s their website for their details:
