Features Of Good Public Charities

By Brian King


There are local and international organizations that are run to benefit our communities. They are well structured and well managed and mostly offer their services to less disadvantaged communities. In this case, public charities operate exclusively to benefit the public. The Attorney General office has the responsibility of caring the welfare of the community by making sure that the organizations are wholly non-profit organizations and charitable. Thus, they have some characteristics as stated below.

Public assistance are groups that many people think of when they hear of the term charity. These organizations offer help to the needy and assist in reducing the community tasks and tensions and improve the religion sector, education and the level of science and technology in the community. Therefore, they involve themselves in starting private schools, churches, shelters for the homeless.

The funds used by the groups are got from the public as contributions. Other funds are from the government, public and private foundations willing to donate, individual persons. In other cases, they engage in fund raising activities and providing direct services to the public. Besides, public donations do not undergo taxation and for this reason, encourages more givers.

It is a requirement by the central revenue service to ensure that the societies do fulfill the needs of a community as stipulated in their article and the strategies laid down by the organization. They should make sure that the law is considered for it not to be seen as a private foundation and lose the advantages got from funding and reduced taxes.

The association needs to select a board of management which the community wants and not personal interests of the group officials. There should not be any blood nor marriage relations in the board of directors not even personal business relations. It means that diversification of the persons to manage should be done and should ensure that the organization experiences significant development.

Financial figures of a society help including the tax refund, revenues from the fund raising and that got from selling goods, services and from investments act as good indicators to access the sustainability of a charity financially. Thus, will give forth information which will have a great impact on the welfare reputation concerning donations got from the masses. For this reason, it may gain more sponsors or loss depending on the report on their financial evaluation of the charity.

Maximizing fund raising efforts of charities is an essential thing to them. Their employees and trustees need to be involved entirely on the events, formalize and come up with a plan on how to conduct it. They should also diversify fund raising efforts so that they can be able to contact more potential donors through having special events. Also, they can communicate with the government sources, corporate s and foundations by direct emails and through websites.

The non-profit groups in some instances face significant challenges especially with fund-raising and fund development in times of economic decline and increased rates of unemployment. During these times, they get small funds from their sources, and some are forced to discontinue their services till the situations settle down.
