Non-Profit part 2

So when I first looked at non-profits organizations I thought that they had to get loans from banks and such to start the organization and build it. But I learned from class though that that was not the case, it was that they had to make a proposal about what they were going to do and what they were going to be involved in and present it to the city council in order to get a grant from the city so they could accomplish what they had set out to do. I thought that that was interesting especially since I had my information all wrong and it was also very smart and beneficiary towards organizations because they didn’t have to worry about paying back money, they could just focus on what to do with the grant that they had received and just figure out how to spend the money to get the best results. I was also very interested that both speakers for their organization were eager to get people involved with helping out in their organizations but was also surprised that they were willing to pay some people that volunteered their jobs and ultimately get a job at their organizations. After finding all of these out I’ve now got an interest into finding a non-profit organization that deals with obtaining clean water for third world countries and volunteer some of my time there. And since I now know that there are positions that can be paid I can also look into that so I can just work and volunteer at my organization more time without having to worry into cutting into the time that I should be working and making a living for myself.
