Explain how the organization is structured and comment about the ways the organization handles its cause using the Module 4 Readings and Video, as well as the two resources below.

Review the information from the consulting group Socialbrite (Links to an external site.) to learn about the structure of organizations that provide social good.

For this assignment, write a two-page paper addressing the following:

Pick an organization from Socialbrite (Links to an external site.) and write an overview of the organization.
Ensure you write a thorough overview of the organization, including what they do, who they provide services to, what kind of services they provide, and any other meaningful overview information to explain the organization.
Explain how the organization is structured and comment about the ways the organization handles its cause using the Module 4 Readings and Video, as well as the two resources below. These readings are included so that you can use them to provide context and definitions of the different types of organizations. For example:
On the Nevada Revised Statutes (see below), you will find the definition of a corporation.
On the IRS website (see below), you will find the definitions and characterizations of charitable organizations (both public and private foundations), and social welfare organizations. There are a couple other types of organizations listed on this site too, which you will not need to use or refer to.
The way you will integrate the information on the IRS and Nevada Revised Statute websites is by doing the following:
Use the information from these websites to provide detail on the organization type, based on what you learn on their website about their operations and how it appears they respond to their cause.
Some organizational websites will state what kind of organization they are (public charity, private foundation, and so on) but some will not. Use the definitions and characteristics from the IRS and Nevada websites to inform.
For example, if the organization states that it is a private foundation, you would refer to this definition on the IRS website and discuss how/where you see the organization aligned with this structure.
Or, if the website you select does not indicate what type of organization they are, you will use the definitions from the IRS and Nevada websites to determine what kind it is.
Note: If you do this, use critical analysis of the organization based on the definitions, while understanding that some organization websites include limited information about their structure. In these cases, use your best judgment of the type of organization it is based on the definitions form the websites, and explain why you came to that conclusion.
Use Stecker (2014), Internal Revenue Services “Lifecycle of an Exempt Organization,” (Links to an external site.) and 2019 Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS): Chapter 82—Nonprofit Corporations (Links to an external site.) to support your paper.
