Homework
This course focuses on the business sector commonly called charitable nonprofits. These organizations are classified under Section 501(c)(3) of the IRS tax code. They are exempt from federal taxes, allowed to accept tax-exempt contributions, and not allowed to lobby or use their funds to support candidates for public office. These organizations will be studied during this course, beginning with the one you choose to use for your final project. As part of your strategic analysis, you will look at all aspects of the organization, interview members of the organization, and even suggest a plan for making the organization more successful.

A. Identify a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization that you would like to study throughout the course.
