Non-profits & Activism
When looking at Non-profits and where they fit into a community, the importance of planning and evaluation can not be overstated. Nonprofits serve the community in many different ways and have many different stakeholders. Stakeholders being anyone involved in the nonprofit or being affected by the nonprofit. Planning and evaluation allows the stakeholders to know the Non-profit is working to be a good steward of the resources they are working with and the services they provide. Planning and evaluation also allows the nonprofit to pivot accordingly when situations change, and it ensures the nonprofit is being accountable to it stakeholders. Gordon Decker is a 20-year law enforcement veteran and 12-year Army National Guard veteran. He holds a Masters Science in Administration with an emphasis in Organizational Leadership from the University of South Dakota and has more than 8 years of experience working with non-profits of various sizes and at different levels of responsibility. He currently owns his own business and was previously a product manager for a software company. Gordon has been married 14 years and has two children (9 and 12 year old boys). He prides himself on being a lifelong learner, passionate about growth and development personally, professionally, and as a community. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

Starting a nonprofit organization or researching what it would take to start one? Check out a few BIG mistakes I made in my start up nonprofit and DON'T do what I did! #Nonprofit #Entrepreneurship #SocialEnterprise
Don't worry, things turned out okay. I now work full-time for the 501c3 nonprofit I started and love seeing the social impact we make in our community as we grow each year. But looking back, I could have done a few things differently as a nonprofit entrepreneur to get us to the scale we're at now more quickly and with less of a struggle.
If you've started a nonprofit or known someone who has - what mistakes did you / they make along the way that you learned from? Share in the comments below! THANK YOU for checking out my first video - I hope you enjoy!

Starting a nonprofit, leading, or working for a nonprofit? Here are 9 skills you need for nonprofit management and leadership. #Nonprofits #Nonprofit #StartingANonprofit
I am a nonprofit founder who now works full time as the Executive Director for the nonprofit I started many years ago. I grew my skills at nonprofit management and leadership over several years - I definitely didn’t start with them! But, looking back, if I’d known all it would take to successfully run my nonprofit organization, I would have invested more in some areas earlier on.
If you are starting a nonprofit, thinking about it, or have just started a nonprofit, or KNOW someone who is trying to start a nonprofit, I hope this helps!

How to start a nonprofit organization in 2023 - otherwise known as a 501(c)(3) organization. So a nonprofit organization is a business entity in which your goal is not to be profitable but to make money to expand on a social clause.
Book a Tax Services Discovery Call: https://schedule.lyfetaxes.com..../discoveryapplicatio
But we can’t ignore that it has some incredible tax benefits for its members and managers. For example, 501(c)(3) organizations are completely tax-exempt which allows them to use more money towards their desired social causes.

Naive, 20 year old me used to think of charities, non-profit organizations as truly selfless acts.
But you probably know where this is going.
FIFA, a non-profit organization founded to develop and improve the beautiful sport of soccer, has $1,8B in cash reserves, paid its President about $3M a year. Its top executives went to jail a few years ago for laundering money, taking bribes.
This pastor used his non-profit to essentially become a millionaire, fly private jets.
These are just two of many stories we found on how easy these organizations lose their way.
It’s no coincidence that so many celebrities and millionaires have all established their foundations.
But even worse than just saving taxes, non-profits raise money. From people like you and me who sometimes want to help.
But few people know the truth of where that money ends, and how little it actually goes to that cause you are supporting.

Björg has been involved in animal rights activism ever since she started volunteering for the Danish organization, Dyrenes Alliance (eng. The Animals’ Alliance) in 2014, shortly after going vegan. After less than a year volunteering, she spent 4 years shaping one of Dyrenes Alliance’s most effective local groups as a local coordinator for Odense, the third largest city in Denmark, where she was responsible for organizing local events and supervising volunteers.
The main part of her job as a local coordinator consisted in recruiting and training volunteers as well as team building and delegating duties between the volunteers. Furthermore Björg has played a key role in forging partnerships with other non-profit organisations to learn from their experiences.
Currently she is Vice-Chairman of the organization working with coordinators as well as volunteers helping them be as effective as possible when advocating for the animals.
In her spare time Björg is an avid cat-petter and hummus-eater.

Activist investments
Activist investment is a form of investment used by some big hedge funds, in which the investment fund uses its right to vote the members of the board of directors in order to shape the company decisions.
Why only large hedge funds do that? That’s because, in order to have enough power to influence the board of directors you have to own a !!BIG!! stake in the company. Something that the average retail investor can’t afford. None the less, many times the hedge fund still has to convince more passive institutional investors like BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street etc.. because they don’t own a majority stake in the company. But if they ally with other relevant investors they can proceed more easily with transformation in the company. This technique started to be very well known in the 80s when Carl Icahn and Thomas Boone Pickens started buying big stakes in publicly traded companies. After amassing a big stake they forced managements to create value for shareholders, so the management either had to do what these hedge fund managers wanted them to do or to pay them a premium in order to convince them to back out of the equity of the company. They were considered corporate raiders rather than activist investors. More recently Carl Icahn had a clash BlackRock Chairman and CEO Larry Fink. Larry Fink accused activist investors of not worrying for the well-being of companies on the long term, but only about the short term gains. This attack was aimed at Icahn himself. He also criticized the way activists come out in public attacking companies. As a matter of fact, activists frequently use media like tv, news outlets etc… to influence the public perception towards a company in order to shift its decisions. New strong criticism came when investor Bill Ackman came out live on CNBC making terrifying predictions about the markets earlier this year because of lockdowns and during this interview the stock market dropped significantly. It later came out that Bill Ackman held shorts in the markets for billions of dollars and that drop increased his profits.
Activist investment has also a bright side. For example when the management is not acting in the best interest of the shareholders, these investors can push for change for example by cutting on expenses, cutting unnecessary bonuses for management etc… Otherwise these investors can report companies that are not working well more in general. For example Bill Ackman understood the risks of Credit Default Swaps on Mortgage backed securities. So he shorted MBIA, an important operator in this field and pushed the government to step in the company to regulate it. By doing so he made it clear for the public that the company wasn’t operating correctly, so that retail investors would stay away from that company. No action was taken by the authorities but he held his shorts until The great crisis came and the company went bust.
We’ve already covered Elliott Management founder Paul Singer so check that out. We’ll soon cover Carl Icahn, Bill Ackman and other activist investors so make sure not to leave without subscribing to the channel.
