Comparisons Between Private And Public Charities

By Anna Anderson


An individual can always give back to the society through a number of ways. He/she can either donate or conduct services that benefits the community. There are numbers of cases where people have made cash and material donations to the poor. This is a selfless intuitive and the participant is often empathizing with their situation. In the long run, they end up sharing what they already have and willing to give. The state and other private organizations can also do the same. Each government has a huge role to play in providing public charities.

It is important to distinguish between nonprofit and state funding. Private organizations come together for purposes of helping the poor. They are in charge of relieving the financial burden that an individual or a group is facing. In most cases, they release their funds to provide facilities in churches, hospitals and other medical research groups. The state provides funds for the community at large. It generates equitable resources to cater for needs including religion, education and science.

Any funding organization requires restrictions. The community benefits from state funding since they remain accountable. The state combines efforts with private organizations to release funds to benefit the poor and the community at large. In most cases, they are responsible for all charitable projects that are in progress. These include; churches, education facilities and shelters for the homeless.

State funding requires help from a board of directors. The major challenge is that it should not compose of people that share the same lineage or married couples. As a matter of fact, it should not be 50% related by blood, marriage or business ownership. This is to ensure that major decisions that are made remain impartial and should be free from any form of prejudice.

The community at large must play an active role towards the funding. It needs to generate a revenue of about 33%. The rest can come from other sources. This gives them an opportunity to take part in the accounting process. More often than not, annual audits needs to be carried out for purposes of credibility. Any cases of embezzlement are often reported to the board of directors for a review. Private organizations often receive their funding from one source.

There are two broad categories that are used to define private organizations. They are namely; non operating and operating foundations. Operating foundations often release funds to complete their own projects. The non operating foundations funds fund charitable projects from other organization. Both of them need to operate under specific limits.

The internal revenue services is a branch of the government that takes part in monitoring and evaluation in the foundations. They often carry out routine or annual audits to determine the authenticity of certain organizations. They have the mandate to differentiate between the two foundations.

In this time and era, many people have benefited from both state and private funding. Most of them have gone to schools, received medical support and found shelter through these initiatives. The community remains accountable for everything that goes on around them by taking active participation in the audit process. In most instances they have worked hard to achieve the equitable resources.
