There are three main strategies that non-profit organizations use to benefit their cause. The first is donations. The Salvation Army accepts clothing donated by anyone that they later sell in their stores with the profits going to benefit the people involved with their help programs. The Salvation Army also is well known for their portrayal of Santa Claus in front of market and retail stores during the Christmas season. They are ringing bells and collecting loose change with which they use for their organization. Volunteer work is the second most important strategy for non-profit organizations. Most rely heavily on volunteer work. This can be people who want to make a difference in their community or people who are doing community service. Fundraising is the last most important way for non profit organizations to earn enough money to stay functioning. A well known example of this is WHYY which will interrupt their regularly scheduled programming during their telethon week to try to raise money for their organization. They do not have commercials on their network; instead, they have the telethon. This method works well for their organization and they can generate enough money from their dedicated users to keep their television station running. Federal and state government also contribute money to non profit organizations if they feel like they have the potential for making a difference in the community.
