Women are used to putting their own needs on the back burner. They attend to infants, young children, and teenagers, all the while telling themselves that there will be time enough for themselves when their kids are grown. But what happens when an adult child turns out to have mental health concerns, substance abuse disorder, or financial or employment issues? Social workers who work with the elderly tell us that many older mothers are sinking under the weight of troubled adult children. It’s hardly a discovery that mothers sacrifice their own needs for the sake of their children. What is news is how this sacrifice continues to affect the lives of older mothers.

The US has one of the best social services infrastructures since there are so many nonprofit groups there. An estimated $1 trillion is added to the US economy annually by the 1.5 million registered non-profits.

Such is the size and scope of the sector, which is brimming with philanthropists, social workers, and community leaders eager to help humanity. You may have considered starting your own NGO due to the rising need for social services among the populace.

But establishing an NGO is not simple; there is a lot of paperwork, legal requirements, and procedures to take into consideration before a non-profit is launched.

Here is a step-by-step guide that will tell you all you need to know about forming a non-profit in the US to assist you. Take a peek, then begin your charitable adventure.

Non-profit technology solutions have grown dramatically in the last two years. After implementing digital tools, more than 44% of non-profit executives reported increased organizational growth and efficiency. According to reports, non-profits and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are leveraging technology to increase their income generation.
Without access to technology, managing day-to-day operations as a non-profit executive can be difficult. You cannot maximize case accuracy and performance unless you invest in case management software and cloud storage.

In this blog, FAMCare’s team has outlined how tech is helping NPOs grow and succeed.

As we peer into our crystal balls to forecast future trends for human service organizations, all indications point to a highly tech-backed and advanced operational path. Disruptive technologies are being implemented by an increasing number of welfare organization managers and case workers in order to improve performance and case management.

Here are the three most sought-after tech trends for non-profit organizations in 2023.

We recently overheard two nine-year-olds discussing a Thanksgiving food bank ad they happened to be watching on T.V.

NYO#1 “Look at all those turkeys. Who gets them all?"

NYO#2 "Hungry children in China."

NYO#1 "Do they have Thanksgiving in China?"

NYO#2 "I guess so. They must, or they wouldn't need so many turkeys."

NYO#1 "Wow. They sure have a lot of hungry people."

NYO#2 "Yup. They do. Everybody in China is hungry."

Every now and then this blog takes a close-up of the work an individual agency is doing. This week we would like to profile Starting Over, Inc. a small Los Angeles agency dedicated to helping individuals who have fallen by the wayside and are trying to reenter the mainstream of normal life. Starting Over Inc. is dedicated to helping Southern California's most vulnerable by addressing homelessness, recidivism, and reentry. Although providing transitional housing is an important part of their service, over time the program has evolved a seven-part service model that seeks to address the complex of conditions that hinder a successful reentry into the mainstream.

As of right now, they estimate that there are ten million NGO organizations around the world. Catering to millions of people in need across various regions, humanitarian services have played an important role throughout history.

Whether it’s global catastrophes that require immediate action or welfare programs that help feed those in need, human services are a necessary part of how modern societies function.

But in recent years, it has become tough for NGOs and NPOs to effectively run their operations without getting hindered by financial, geographical, and workforce challenges. This is where technology comes into play; it can help NGOs streamline their processes and improve efficiency to continue doing good work.

In this blog today, we’ll look at some of the ways non-profits can improve their efficiency by streamlining their day-to-day operations. But first, let’s discuss the benefits of doing so.

There are an estimated ten million non-governmental organizations (NGOs) worldwide. There are 1.5 million of them in the United States. America has one of the most promising welfare infrastructures due to its extensive network of social services.

At the same time, the presence of the vast majority of non-profits in the United States makes it difficult for these NGOs to run their operations consistently and with adequate funds.

Donors have many options for charities, as many NGOs are unable to attract large enough projects. Smaller non-profits have a particularly difficult time attracting long-term donors.

Today's article will give you some general fundraising tips that will benefit any NGO, regardless of mission or vulnerable population that they serve.  

The country’s psyche has put the pandemic aside. Even with the virus still circulating Americans have put away their masks and come out to play. This ability to quickly recover from even the most devastating traumas marks the American character. We’re always ready to move on to new business.

In the US, there are more than 700,000 caseworkers, according to data from 2020. If you're a member of this sizable workforce, you are well aware of the difficulties faced by those who work in the nation's human services.
It's never been more challenging to serve the people with a big number of individuals in need of your help, a growing workload, and a slow rate of growth among new employees. As a result, many caseworkers today who work in the fields of child welfare, juvenile justice, mental health care, and senior care are finding that technology can help them improve their operations.
