Chapter 598: Steps to Create a Charity Organization
"I would say that we indeed are ready to start operations, but we still have some steps to complete before we can start investing money in helping others." Sam replied.
Theo had a confused face as he heard that, so he asked, "How so?"
"Let me explain to you the steps to create a charity organization, after I finish this explanation you'll understand why." Sam commented with a calm voice.
"Ok." Theo simply replied as he waited for her explanation.
"Creating a charity organization involves several important steps to establish a legal and operational framework." Sam started, "The first step is to define the organization's mission and purpose. We have to identify the cause or issue we want to address through the charity organization. Consequently, we also have to clearly define our mission, goals, and objectives. Determine the target beneficiaries or communities we aim to serve."
"But I was inexperienced doing this kind of task. So, I skipped this first step and first searched for qualified professionals with experience in charity organizations. After a long search, we managed to recruit individuals who share the same charity passion. They have relevant expertise in the nonprofit sector or the cause you aim to address. After I explained to them what our purpose was, they gladly accepted our offer to be part of the board of directors of the charity organization. Obviously, they were only hired after we checked their past deeds several times, and we confirmed that their past is clean. With these new employees, we established a diverse board of directors who can provide strategic guidance, governance, and oversight for the organization."
"The board of directors started working at the start of this week. My team rented a three- story building close to the Umbrella Corporation Office to serve as the Headquarters of the charity organization." Sam informed.
"With their ample experience, they started working on the first step that I just spoke about. But at the same time, they are working on the second step as well."
"The second step is Research and Planning. They will conduct thorough research on the issue or cause we want to address.
Also, they will assess the existing charitable organizations working in the same field. With this information, they will identify gaps or areas where our organization can make a unique contribution. Finally, they will develop a strategic plan that outlines the charity organization's structure, programs, and funding strategies.
"With their ample experience in the field, this group of people will be able to accomplish these tasks much better than my team could ever do. Plus, I told them what you told me, and they said they will focus their research and operations on orphanages and poor countries." Sam said as she looked at him.
Theo let out a happy smile when he heard that. He was happy that he would be able to put smiles on the children in those orphanages.
"It seems I'll have to call some people to answer your question." Sam said as she wryly
laughed.
Theo replied with a wry smile as well.
Sam promptly asked her assistant to have the persons in charge of the HR Department, Legal Department, and Board of Directors have a video conference immediately.
Just like that, 5 minutes later, three people appeared on the screen in front of Theo and Sam.
"Good afternoon, everyone." Sam greeted them, "This one beside me is my boss, and he has some questions for the three of you."
When the three people heard that, they were shocked.
They were finally meeting the mysterious boss!
"Good afternoon, boss!" The three of them promptly greeted them when they heard that.
"Good afternoon, everyone." Theo said with a smile, "Miao-san, you are the represent the board of directors, am I right?"
The middle-aged woman promptly replied, "Yes."
"I would like to know..." Theo proceeded to ask a multitude of questions to the three of them.
In such a way, they spent the next hour discussing what Theo wanted to implement in the charity organization.
