    I can’t believe I found this video . I was just trying to find information on non profit and for profit . As I was told to do both. My son is also autistic and I’m working on a project to to build a school( pre-school) to create an inclusion program , with regular kids. I just can’t believe it also touched autism which is what my project is about .

    I am researching non-profit and profit and came across this video. I study colors and have somehow realized I can bring colors into the world of neurodiverse children, to help them have better tools for learning and possibly to explore life in colors. Thank you for this talk.

      This video is indeed inspiring. However, it does not explain how someone who is not rich who still needs to feed him or herself but yearns to help others can do so. For instance, it does not explain if running a non-profit is essentially a business that requires the management team to source donations via professional fund raisers, how one learns to become a professional fund raiser if that is what is required and how the operation works, etc. I wish there was a video that actually explains how non profit organizations actually work.

  • @InJusticeAustralia
    @InJusticeAustralia Рік тому +1

    This was a lovely speech.
    But it raises some questions to me….
    1. Legally speaking, how can a business be factually called a NFP if it’s making a profit.
    2. I have always had the concern that some NFP’s intentionally lie or at least manipulate the public, so they offer the NFP more donations, volunteer etc- when it’s likely they are very well funded.
    I know of one huge organisation doing exactly this, and it makes me irate to know they are playing people to line the pockets of those in it that benefit.

      Non profit is just a legal framework for the IRS, it’s all about what you do with the profit, non profit should use it to better their cause whatever it may be. But just like any tool it can be corrupted, that’s why not all non profits are good.

    Many Service providers used to be small taxpaying businesses that transitioned to a tax exempt nonprofit so they could be taxpayer grant funded. This is scary because if you sit back and see how many nonprofits this country has and how much of your tax dollars are funding them and big grants being sent to big corporate agencies, if the govt stopped giving away this money tomorrow..... What financial shape would we all be in? Most of this country now seems to be funded directly or indirectly or back end invoicing with your tax dollars it seems.. Nonprofits would close shop because many are totally dependent on our taxpayer dollars. Doesnt even Elon Musk receive govt funding? Hasn't the airlines received govt funding? Have our utility companies received govt funding... ? Have our appliance mfrs received funding for green energy...research the dept of energy website for all the green energy (from microwaves to ceiling fans ...from A/Cs to washers, etc) ? Have our auto dealers received govt funding? What about pharma that used to be responsible for doing their own years of research to mfr a reliable product back then.... What has happened with pharma...are they now being funded by our tax dollars to financially support research so they can sell us an unaffordable med, charge Medicare and Medicaid astronomical $, and they make billions in profits and now we have more class action lawsuits in ads more than ever plus we cant even keep up with fda recalls anymore it is so many! Folks it's just about everything the consumer touches now it seems. The govt should not give any monies to any business, private or not! Is this why we have such high taxes, inflation, etc? If any private or nonprofit is receiving direct or indirect govt funding, then those entities should never donate to any political campaigns or give anything of value to any elected official! Period! Stop this financial burden on Americans!

    No, no, it was government cheese. It was written on the wrapper. An organization (probably received additional government funding and) dispensed it to the public. Furthermore, I believe the cheese came from a milk surplus for which the government paid.
