RAISING AWARENESS FOR A LOCAL NONPROFIT 3
Introduction
Raising awareness is a form of enlightening the community on certain alarming matters.
In most nations, public cognizance focuses mainly on diseases that are known to be a menace
among individuals. HIV/AIDS and cancers like breast cancer, prostrate among others
consciousness which is widespread across the world is an excellent example of public alertness.
Educating the public about issues that affect them provides a basis of where to get help, the
measures put in place to help avert the concern, and how they can assist in resolving the matter
(Robb et al., 2009). Donations, group-on’s, grant writing, and fundraising are some of the ways
that can be used to enlighten the public.
Apart from having the right ways of conducting awareness, there is a need for relevant
stakeholders to steer the forum. This essay will look at what is entailed in directing an awareness
program for a nonprofit organization. The paper will elaborate on the stakeholders involved, the
challenges or opportunities the organization may encounter, and the various ethical, economic
and legal responsibilities of the organization with regards to the matter at hand. The article will
also look at the conflicts that might arise in the organization concerning the issue and the non-
profit management principles, concepts or ideas that might help manage the organization about
cancer cognizance.
