Non-Profit Organization Research Paper

Non-Profit Organization Research Paper

Overview: It should be obvious, that to truly have a legitimate organization, one must know the subject matter of the organization. This paper is meant to inform you about a certain aspect related to your cause. This essay will be part of your website and portions will probably be used in your pamphlet. Therefore, this should be an insightful piece of work that shows your mastery of the subject matter you are studying.



Process: Find a topic that is related to your organization. This topic should be some pivotal topic that your organization would need to know in order to be well-informed. For example, if I were to create a non-profit that creates environmental studies camps in undeveloped countries, I might research which countries have the biggest need to be educated about environmental effects. Or perhaps I would do research on what the history of various countries' environmental policies are...It would also be possible to do a paper on why educational curriculum does not include discussions on the environment. All of these would be acceptable topics for my organization. You and your partners MUST have different topics.
