What MGMT 602 Week 8 Nonprofit Analysis Project asks for
The project begins with reading about a Christian worldview and reflecting on it in a short essay. You then select 10 nonprofit organizations to review, narrow to 1 for an in-depth evaluation and assessment with a list of well-supported recommendations, and finish with a professional letter to that organization presenting the recommendations. It is due in Module/Week 8 with Worth chapters 9 and 10. Worth 300 points, the largest assignment in the course.

The MGMT 602 Week 8 method, step by step
See where this piece sits in the project
Read the whole project brief before this stage. Knowing where Nonprofit Analysis Project leads lets you collect the right information now.
Choose a subject you can research
Choose a subject with plenty of public data. Every later stage will need facts about it.
Answer the questions this stage asks
Turn each question in the stage instructions into a heading and answer it with specifics about your subject, not general theory.
Apply the course model
Bring in the course framework the stage expects and apply it explicitly to your subject's facts.
Support with sources
Cite the facts you use (Organizational information on the nonprofits, Worth and readings on a Christian worldview). Industry reports, filings and journal articles carry more weight than websites with no author.
Format, length and teamwork
Stay within Not set in the guide; follow the project instructions and format in current APA. If the stage is a group deliverable, agree on who writes which section early and edit for one voice at the end.
Review the 10 organizations with the same short criteria (mission, size, revenue mix, transparency) and explain why you chose one. In the assessment, support each recommendation with evidence and Worth's concepts, then write the letter in professional business format for the executive director and board.

A topic angle that works

Model paragraph with notes
An original paragraph written by our desk to show the register that earns full rubric credit. It is study material: learn the moves, then write your own.
Dear Ms. Alvarez and members of the board: Thank you for the important work Hope Kitchen does for families in our county. Having reviewed your public reports, I offer three recommendations. First, your Form 990 shows that two grants provide over 60% of revenue; building a monthly donor program would reduce that dependence. Second, adding an outcome measure, such as families reporting fewer skipped meals, would strengthen grant applications.
