The Relationship 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.

Community initiatives often enjoy certain privileges. Their mission is to attract higher donor tax deductible funds thus limiting their resources. They also possess the ability to attract support from other community and private entities. In other terms, they often carry out activities to do with direct charitable activities. They are in the form of churches, private academies and shelters for the homeless.

A community initiative requires a diversified set of board of directors. Their main duty is to take an active role on planning and decision making process. The board of directors must not be 50% related by blood, marriage or outside business partnership. This will work towards avoiding any cases of nepotism and favoritism among blood members.

The community should always be alerted on any project that is underway. In most cases, the onset and completion are released through reports for public consumption. This is because almost 33% of the state funding comes from the community. Whenever there are any discrepancies, the board of directors have to go back to the drawing board to correct these shortcomings.

Private entities can be categorized into two; non operating and operating foundations. Operating foundations often release funds for purposes of completing their own projects. On the other hand, non operating foundations provide financial aid for other charitable entities. In both cases, they have to meet specific qualifications.

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.
