Service and Charity Organization Paper

Charitable organizations are non-profit organizations that serve the population of any country by providing help to ensure their social well-being. These organizations provide different kinds of services and financial aid to people. Likewise, some organizations provide healthcare benefits, psychological assistance, and rehabilitation facilities. However, these organizations use their funds without any discrimination and believe in helping society in general instead of utilizing all their funds on an individual or entity. In this scenario, the general public is requested to donate either money or volunteer for charity purposes so that the benefits can reach directly to the needy ones. There are a lot of charitable organizations in America who are working hard to cater to the needs of the masses and support humanity within and across the country. This essay discusses three noticeable, charitable organizations found in America and compares their mission statement, goals, and donation benefits.

“MAP International” is one of the famous charitable organizations based in America. It was founded by J. Raymond Knighton in 1954. The founder is famous for his knowledge about multiple medicines. This organization provides pharmaceutical services to various hospitals and health care centers to facilitate the far-off localities where medical services are not readily available. Besides, this charitable organization aims to help the American population despite their color, race, and ethnic background. Similarly, "MAP International" facilitates homeless people such as immigrants or flood victims (MAP International Home - Medicine for the World). However, medical facilitation is the top mission of this organization. “United States Fund for UNICEF” is another charitable organization present in America which works in collaboration with the UNICEF. It was founded by the American state in 1947. Similarly, this organization collects funds for UNICEF to provide education and healthcare to the world’s child population (Humanitarian Aid for Children in Crisis | UNICEF USA). Education is the fundamental right of every child and in lieu of this, the United States Fund aims at providing both educational facilities and volunteers to extend their services to a remote population of the world. For instance, the literacy rate is low in third world countries and areas affected by famine and poverty such as Africa.

Apart from these two organizations, another noticeable charitable organization of America is known as “World Vision”. It was founded in 1950 by Robert Pierce who was also associated with the evangelical church. This organization is commissioned to spiritually uplift the American people by guiding them towards the message of Jesus Christ. Moreover, it mobilizes the privileged communities to facilitate the less privileged or underprivileged social classes in America (Our History | World Vision International). They emphasize the need for attending Church proceedings since religion plays a significant role in the lives of people. These three organizations have a similar goal that is to facilitate humanity in general. Quite similarly, these organizations work for the welfare of all communities found in the United States of America. “MAP International” and “United States Fund for UNICEF” provide healthcare benefits to the American population, however, the latter extends its target population area and serves the global audience as well. In the same manner, “MAP International” is a charitable organization that specifically targets the different states of America and believes in catering to the health needs of their fellow citizens only. Likewise, "United States Fund" only facilitates children all over the world whereas, "MAP International" provides funds for all American people despite their age group. The mission of "World Vision" is different from both the above-discussed organizations because it works on the spiritual needs of the American nation. It believes in building a community that is both morally and ethically strong. This organization focuses on the significance of communal practices for building a good community model for the rest of the world. Likewise, "World Vision" is exclusively built around Christianity to evoke a sense of guidance and helping humanity in general. Moreover, keeping in view the mission and aims of these three organizations, I would like to contribute both financial aid and volunteer services to “United States Fund for UNICEF” since they work for education. As a student myself, I know the importance of education.

Charity is a great virtue and through this process, the less privileged people are helped and humanity is served in general. The role of charitable organizations cannot be denied in this context since they collect funds from the population and utilize it for the well-being of poor people. The charitable organizations in America aim to provide medical facilities and religious knowledge at both the local and global levels.
