What is the essence of ArizonaCommunity.com?
The basic principle of our online outreach program is to "Embrace A Cause and Each Other." Our efforts capture this essence in several ways.
First, our Community Resource Directory embraces our regional community by locating online resources for Southeastern Arizona. We have found that there is no other comprehensive search engine for our community focusing on the non-profit sector and resources. With the growth of the region, more individuals are unable to locate assistance. Our directory provides help for anyone looking for assistance.
Secondly, by donating our services to the non-profit sector worldwide, we ensure that all organizations have the opportunity to provide assistance through the information superhighway. Combined with our directory, there is no reason for a resource not to have accessible information on the internet.
Thirdly, through online promotion, the non-profit sector increases opportunities in gaining volunteers and funding. We are increasing marketing and promotion for the non-profit sector in a global perspective.
What are the core values and beliefs of the organization?
ArizonaCommunity.com values love, kindness, and giving. "Embracing a Cause" is our core belief. By focusing on assisting organizations, we assist the individual looking for a solution. There are many charitable organizations, filling almost every conceivable niche for our region and worldwide. Rather than duplicate a service that is already provided, we are able to assist every charitable organization. For us, "Embrace A Cause" is taken a step further as we embrace many causes.
What is the mission? Who is served and what do they get?
Our mission is to provide accessibility to community resources and non-profit organizations that provide solutions to problems faced by our society. We serve individuals by directing them to online resources. We provide premium services to organizations so they can get the information to those who can directly benefit from their services. We also offer resources to the non-profit sector for fund raising, marketing, and other functions necessary for organizational survival.
What does ArizonaCommunity.com do best and how does it relate to what the world needs?
We provide a comprehensive solution to charitable organizations wanting to provide assistance on a 24-hour basis. Recognizing the importance of "after-hours" care, our approach offers resources for anyone needing help, in any situation, at any given moment.
What are the strengths? What are the weaknesses?
ArizonaCommunity.com has strong support from community leaders and volunteers focused on assisting humanity. Our services are comprehensive and growth oriented. We directly concentrate our efforts on our cause, assisting all other charitable causes.
Our weakness is our dependency upon other charitable organizations. We are not concerned, however, as the non-profit has shown overwhelming response to providing assistance on the greater level which we provide.
What are some keys to the success of the program?
Our keys to success are many. Our services remain unchartered within the global community. Coupled with our innovative approach to online volunteer opportunities, our program is backed with skill and determination.
Another key to success is that we are a service-based organization and do not require the high degree of funds other organizations desperately need. Since we are a small organization, our financial needs are met on a smaller scale.
Other keys include the determination and expertise of our board, the diverse scope of our program, and the genuine need of our services.
What activities will you be undertaking and committing to over the next three years? Five years?
We are just scratching the surface of what we wish to accomplish. Within the year 2001, we will formulate a youth program focusing on empowerment and achievement. We will be working with schools and other organizations providing a comprehensive program of community and global involvement for the next generation.
Within the next three years, we will expand our Community Resource Directory beyond charitable organizations within Southeastern Arizona. We will provide opportunities for volunteers within other regions to directly administer online resource directories for their own communities.
What are the overriding purposes of the organization?
The overriding purposes of ArizonaCommunity.com, is providing assistance to individuals, community resources, and non-profit organizations. Our purpose is to ensure assistance is easily accessible on a 24-hour basis for all who need help.
