It's not difficult to find reports on the state of the world's food supply. According to the United Nations, the world's food production will need to increase by 60% by 2050 to feed a projected population of 9.6 billion people. This is a daunting task, made even more difficult by the threat of climate change, which is expected to reduce crop yields by up to 25% in some areas.

Food banks are an important part of the social safety net in the United States. They provide food to those who cannot afford it. Food banks get their supplies from two sources: donations and government surplus. This article will go over how food banks operate.

Maintaining data security is a top priority for nonprofits for a variety of reasons.

Non-profits are typically associated with a variety of donors, and the relationship that a non-profit has with them is delicate. As a result, protecting their personal information is a top priority for any organization.

Furthermore, non-profits, such as those that handle human services cases, typically deal with a number of cases involving people or youth in vulnerable situations. As a result, having their personal information compromised or stolen is simply unacceptable. A data breach would directly contradict the non-primary profit's goal, which is to protect the vulnerable. Here are a few easy ways non-profits can protect their data.

Ever since we published The Aging Tidal Wave, this blog has been tracking how the long-term care industry is accommodating the 3 million baby boomers swamping it every year. This week we're taking a closer look at how the nursing home component of long-term care is holding up.

Did you know there are 1.5 million registered nonprofits in the United States? Many nonprofits begin with grandiose plans and lofty goals. Unfortunately, many of them struggle and ultimately fail due to the extensive planning and strategizing required to make a nonprofit successful. In the aftermath of the pandemic, more people have focused their attention to Nonprofits.   

Nonprofit organizations will play a significant role in assisting American citizens to improve their economic situation in the post-pandemic era. We hope that this blog will provide you with some simple ideas for long-term planning that will assist our nonprofit friends in growing and expanding.

As a result of the pandemic's mounting food and medical shortages, the role of nonprofit organizations has grown more important than ever. The pandemic has also elevated the use of technology in charitable organizations. Technological techniques are required to increase productivity, provide caseworkers with the resources they need to manage and support the vulnerable populations they serve, and to reach out to the ever-important funders. Let’s take a moment to examine how todays nonprofits are using technology to improve on their performance.

In the 2004 film, The Notebook, James Garner watches Gina Rowlands, the love of his life, slip away into the isolation of Alzheimer's disease. Garner's character reflects as Gina Rowlands stares off into the space of her isolated mind:

"The reason it hurts so much to separate is because our souls are connected. Maybe they always have been and will be. Maybe we've lived a thousand lives before this one and in each of them we've found each other. And maybe each time, we've been forced apart for the same reasons. That means that this goodbye is both a goodbye for the past ten thousand years and a prelude to what will come."

The world has become increasingly digital in the early twenty-first century. This is most visible in how people now interact and connect. The rise of social media, e-commerce, and other digital platforms has enabled people to communicate and engage with one another in ways that were previously unthinkable. Furthermore, businesses have shifted to a more digital model, with many relying on online sales and marketing to reach customers.

When it comes to case management, human services organizations want to improve their efficiency, increase productivity, manage their data, manage caseloads faster, protect their data, and secure new funding. That's a tall order.

"As is so often the case, what began as a creative solution to a social inequity became corrupted by greed and mismanagement," a professor of the history of social work told us. "Sallie Mae was the main facilitator when Congress created the student-loan program back in the 1970s during the Johnson administration.
