Resource Development

There are 2 parts to this assignment

Each Part must be at least one page.

Part 1- Funding Sources

The most successful fundraisers are good prospect researchers. This means they use existing online and print resources to identify which funding sources (specific individuals, foundations, government sources, etc.) are most likely to fund the organization/project based on past giving, mission, priorities, and geographic giving area.

To prepare:

  • Consider a nonprofit organization for which you work or with which you are familiar.
  • Analyze 2–3 potential funding sources for this organization.

The organization for this assignment is NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Health)

https://www.nami.org/Home

Part 1- Must at least be 1 page and include:

  • A description of 2–3 potential missed funding opportunities. Explain why they are or might be missed.
  • Describe potential funding sources and explain why they are appropriate for your organization.
  • Analyze the strengths and limitations of each funding source.
  • Finally, describe any potential missed funding opportunities. Explain why they are or might be missed.

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources and outside scholarly resources.

Part 2- Foundation Prospect Research Challenges

When researching foundations (corporate, community, private, or family), it is important to learn as much as you can about each potential source. You can then evaluate whether the type of foundation is a good match for the organization’s funding need.

To prepare:

  • Consider a nonprofit organization for which you work or with which you are familiar.
  • Analyze potential prospective foundations that might support this organization.

The organization for this assignment is NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Health)

  • A description of two foundations you have identified as higher prospective donors.
  • Describe two foundations you have identified as lower prospective donors for your organization.

  • Be sure to explain how you arrived at your decisions.

Discussion 6: Assessment and the Curriculum

Discussion 6: Assessment and the Curriculum

22 unread replies.22 replies.

In the past, evaluating instruction was generally perceived to take place at the end of the instructional process. However, evaluation that takes place during the process of instruction, referred to as formative assessment (Links to an external site.), provides important evidence and data for reteaching, accelerating, and/or providing additional learning experiences through various modes. Summative evaluation (Links to an external site.) comes at the end of instruction in the form of final exams, unit exams, or end of course exams.

Instructors should remember that there are numerous other techniques other than testing for evaluating student performance.

Discussion:

As an instructional leader, how will you influence the appropriate development and implementation of assessments followed by the use of assessment data to inform instructional practices?
