case studies

After listening to the case studies the last couple class periods I have found it really interesting all of the different nonprofits we have in Manhattan. I know they haven’t all been based in Manhattan, but for the ones that have been, everything is so different financially and through the fundraisers they plan. I wonder if it depends on the organization or the people running it? Some of the nonprofits are more financially stable and more people know about some more than others. For example the FHCC and the Boys and Girls club, they are both nonprofits in Manhattan. But, at FHCC their fundraiser raised $8000 adn the BGC raised over $60,000. Is it because they are different kinds of nonprofits or because they advertise differently or because of the people organizing everything? Why do people give to some organizations and not others? Do they chose their nonprofits because of personal feelings or because of their image? It’s just a thought. What entices Manhattan residents to give?
