It was not that long ago when I decided to be of greater service to my community. After completing a 12-city speaking tour, I noticed the dedication of a nonprofit organization in my community and knew I wanted to make a difference in the lives of others, thus evoloved The Paul Lawrence Vann Foundation.
Fast forward to 2008 and 2009, the American economy is in the tank. Now more than ever, nonprofits are needed to help in communities throughout the U.S. because the needs are great.
With over 306 million peole living in America, I believe she will make a positive turnaround, however it will come on the backs of the hard working men and women. As a result of job losses, record home mortgage foreclosures, and tight lending market, the U.S. government cannot do it all by themselves.
As you lead your nonprofit organization, keep in mind the challenges are great. For example the following areas need nonprofit assistance:
1. The need for food is great because of job losses and no income.
2. Affordable housing whcih is being compounded by record mortgage foreclosures.
3. Medical care cost are skyrocketing and is recorded as one of the primary reasons for mortgage defaults because of excessive medical bills.
4. Senior programs are needed because baby boomers are retiring in record numbers.
5. Women programs required to train more women to become entrepreneurs.
6. Education is one of the top professions because of technology requirements and retraining.
7. Job creation programs will be in more demand because of the need for skilled employees.
If there was ever a time to be of service, the time is now. Remember the government can't do it all by themselves, nonprofits in collaboration with government and private industry will be the difference maker. The question is, are you ready to strengthen your community and realize your dreams?
If you are, I encourage you to contact the Wealth Building Academy to receive one-on-one grant coaching, attend one of our grant training programs and or purchase our home study program.
