Scene 4

Population: 58,754 [1950 census] Nonprofit Civic organizations: Unsure of the amount but assume there were not that many – probably a handful Main industry: Farming/military Not all homes had power, water, telephones – population was disbursed over the entire island not really any main population center.  Sinajana  had the largest population according to 1950 census of 3069 – Barrigada the next highest at 1066.

Scene 6

Reasons why  approximately 30% of nonprofits fail

Pie in the sky dreams (without proper ingredients to bake a pie.) Values vacuum – or poor organizational development Competitive Blinders – or “there’s no one like us” Iced Innovation - or the notion that “our website is good enough for now. Nonprofits MUST embrace Technology Mission Creep or “Yeah, we should do that too!” Misplacing Priority #1 – or forgetting who the “real boss” is.  The data Conundrum – or the fear of information

Scene 7

Founder's syndrome  (also  founderitis [1] [2] ) is the difficulty faced by  organizations , where one or more  founders  maintain disproportionate  power  and influence following the effective initial establishment of the organization, leading to a wide range of problems. The syndrome occurs in both  non-profit  and  for-profit  organizations or companies. The passion and  charisma  of the founder(s), often sources of the initial creativity and productivity of the organization, can become limiting or a destructive factor. [4]  It may simply limit further growth and success, or it may lead to bitter  factionalism  and divisions as the scale of demands made on the organization increases, or it may result in outright failure. [7]

Scene 8

Not having a qualified Leader No website or a poorly designed website Poor planning and record keeping Poor accounting and money management Marketing only to large donors and not thinking smaller donor are just as important. Nonprofit doesn’t mean Tax Exempt – know your tax laws and file your taxes .

Scene 9
