Securing supplemental revenue in private elementary school: A case study of one Jewish community day schoolLane, Marcie Lorin 01 January 2010 (has links)
Private schools often face a gap between their tuition income and the cost of the educational program. Private school administrators, tasked with balancing the school budget, seek to fill this gap through the acquisition of supplemental revenue. Private school administrators have often reported feeling unprepared for the unique responsibilities of the position. In addition, both individual and organizational donors have been noted to assert influence on educational programs. This study adds to the literature specific to supplemental revenue practices for elementary private schools and was influenced by the field of social entrepreneurship. A qualitative case study approach was used. Through purposeful sampling, a private school site was selected in California with fewer than 200 elementary students, evidence of successful fundraising, and tuition under $10,000. The chosen site was a Jewish community day school operating a program for infants through sixth graders. It was the only Jewish school in the county and adjacent areas. Data was collected from ten participant interviews, multiple documents, the school website, and observations. Data components were coded for themes, and a constant comparative method of analysis was applied. The data revealed five themes: (a) systems, (b) purposes of fundraising, (c) constraints on supplemental revenue, (d) operational concerns, and (e) relationships. Thirteen conclusions were drawn from the study. Unanticipated elements included a culture of student fundraising for charity, the coexistence of separate fundraising arms within the school, restrictions religion brought to supplemental revenue efforts, the role tuition discounts played in creating the schools price-cost gap, and differences in donor motivation behind monument building and annual operational support. Recommendations were made for both practitioners and researchers, including the illustration of applying social entrepreneurship to private schools.

Semiotics of Humanitarian PhotographyPaglamidis, Konstantinos January 2013 (has links)
Communication campaigns by major organizations in the field of development have been heavily dependent on humanitarian photography to motivate and attract donors. This genre of photography serves its purpose by informing, surprising and attracting the attention of a broad audience. It captures real life and real problems people in need have to deal with in remote areas of the world. This paper delves into the use of visual semiotics in the context of humanitarian photography and for the purpose of fund-raising by case study research of recent communication campaigns as implemented by major players in the field such as the International Committee of the Red Cross, the Global Fund to Fights AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, Doctors without Border, CARE and Save the Children. The purpose is to identify key issues which allow for the elicitation of a sign framework specific to the fund-raising genre and its idiosyncratic use of visual signs in photography based on a broad theoretical basis of semiotics. The analysis focuses on the content and methods of signification of photography in each case study. The effectiveness of humanitarian photography and important aspects of its function is discussed in the scope of its use as a communication medium for development.

Problems experienced by school governing bodies in the execution of their financial management task: a case studyLekalakala, Madikela Titus 31 March 2006 (has links)
This research focuses on problems encountered by School Governing Bodies (SGBs) in executing their financial task in four schools situated in the Ramotse Area, Hammanskraal, north-east of the city of Tshwane.
The research methodology, which was employed, can be described as qualitative, exploratory and descriptive by nature. Data was collected by means of two focus group interviews, one involving the chairpersons of SGBs and the other involving the managers of the same schools.
An analysis of the data has revealed a number of financially related problems, which SGBs in the Ramotse Area experience, amongst other things that parents fail to meet their financial obligations and subsidies tend to arrive late.
The most important recommendation made is that SGBs should be trained both better and more frequently. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (Education Management)

Captação de recursos por meio de debêntures conversíveis em ações: uma opção para os investimentos no Pré-Sal / Raising funds through convertible debentures: an option for the pre-salt industryAdriana Machado da Rocha Ferreira 23 August 2013 (has links)
Agência Nacional do Petróleo / Financiadora de Estudos e Projetos / O tema a respeito do financiamento da exploração e produção de petróleo, gás natural e outros hidrocarbonetos fluidos nas áreas do Pré-Sal tem sido motivo de debate entre estudiosos e profissionais da área. No novo regime de exploração e produção previsto na Lei n 12.351/2010, a Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. (Petrobras) será a operadora de todos os blocos contratados, ou seja, responsável pela condução e execução, direta ou indireta, de todas as atividades de exploração, avaliação, desenvolvimento, produção e desativação das instalações de exploração e produção. Tal incumbência legal, por si só, denota o volume de investimentos que a Petrobras deverá realizar nos próximos anos, seja com recursos próprios ou de terceiros, para exploração dessas novas áreas descobertas. Ademais, as sociedades contratadas para empreender as operações exploratórias também necessitarão de recursos, uma vez que, junto com a Petrobras, assumirão os custos e os investimentos referentes às atividades de exploração, avaliação, desenvolvimento, fabricação e desativação das instalações de exploração e produção decorrentes dos contratos de partilha. As debêntures conversíveis em ações apresentam-se como uma alternativa viável para a captação de recursos financeiros, além de proporcionarem vantagens, se comparadas com outras formas de financiamento, como empréstimos junto a instituições financeiras e aumento de capital, uma vez que é a companhia emissora responsável por decidir, por exemplo, a data e prazo de vencimento das debêntures e a forma de remuneração dos subscritores de tais títulos. O novo regime legal das debêntures, instituído pela Lei n 12.431/2011, também veio a facilitar o uso desse instrumento para financiar as atividades de produção e exploração de petróleo, gás natural e outros hidrocarbonetos fluidos nas áreas do Pré-Sal. A Petrobras, mesmo enquanto sociedade de economia mista, poderá emitir debêntures conversíveis em ações, observadas algumas regras para a manutenção do seu controle pela União. / The financing of oil, natural gas and other fluid hydrocarbons exploration and production in the Pre Sal areas has currently been a debated matter among scholars and professionals. Under the new exploration and production regime set forth in Law No. 12.351/2010, Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. (Petrobras) will act as an operator of all contracted blocks, thus, it shall be responsible for the direct or indirect management and performance of all of the activities related to the exploration, evaluation, development, production and deactivation of the exploration and production facilities. This legal arrangement by itself denotes the volume of investments that Petrobras is expected to achieve, through the use of its own resources, in the coming years. Moreover, the companies contracted to perform the exploration activities will also be in need of a large amount of resources, since they, alongside with Petrobras, will bear the costs and expenses arising out of the exploration, evaluation, development, production and deactivation of the exploration and production facilities in connection with the sharing contracts. Convertible debentures present themselves as a feasible alternative to obtain the required financial resources in the securities exchange market, as well as are also more advantageous than other capitalization mechanisms, such as traditional bank loans or capital underwriting share subscriptions, since the issuing company is responsible for deciding, e.g., the debenture maturity date and the way that its underwriters will be remunerated. The new legal regime of the debentures, established by Law No. 12.431/2011, was also created to simplify the use of this instrument in order to finance the production and the exploration of oil, natural gas and other fluid hydrocarbons in the Pre Sal areas. Despite being a government-controlled company, Petrobras will be able to issue convertible debentures, provided that it complies with the rules related to its control by the government.

A history of the Ronald McDonald House of Indiana, 1980-2004Mize, Christopher S. January 2012 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / On October 18, 1982, the Ronald McDonald House of Indiana (RMHI) opened near downtown Indianapolis on the campus of Indiana University Purdue University at Indianapolis (IUPUI), located within walking distance of the prestigious Riley Children's Hospital. The Ronald McDonald House (RMH) concept represented an almost perfect intersection between philanthropy and families in need. Creating the RMHI offered the opportunity for individuals, corporations, and benevolent organizations to come together and build a "home-away-from-home" for the families of sick children. When the RMH idea arrived in Indianapolis in the late 1970s, a group of collaborators representing the McDonald's corporation and restaurant owners, Riley Hospital, IUPUI, and the Indianapolis community banded together to make it a reality. On October 18, 1982, after nearly three years planning, fundraising, and construction, the RMHI's advocates and their supporters celebrated the successful opening of Indiana's only RMH. After this momentous occasion, the RMHI's board of directors and their community and corporate partners worked throughout the 1980s and 1990s to sustain, operate, and expand the home they created for the families of seriously ill children receiving treatment at Riley.
