An organization (or organisation — see spelling differences) is a social arrangement which pursues collective goals, controls its own performance, and has a boundary separating it from its environment. The word itself is derived from the Greek word organon, itself derived from the better-known word ergon.

In the social sciences, organizations are the object of analysis for a number of disciplines, such as sociology, economics, political science, psychology, management, and organizational communication. In more specific contexts, particularly for sociologists, the term "institution" may be preferred. The broader analysis of organizations is commonly referred to as organizational studies, organizational behavior or organization analysis. A number of different theories and perspectives exist, some of which are compatible,

  • Organization – process-related: an entity is being (re-)organized (organization as task or action).
  • Organization – functional: organization as a function of how entities like businesses or state authorities are used (organization as a permanent structure).
  • Organization – institutional: an entity is an organization (organization as an actual purposeful structure within a social context)

What are some non profit animal focused organizations?
Q. What are some trustworthy non profit organizations that you know for sure are worth donating money to and that will use 100% of the donations toward the cause of protecting animals? I'm looking for organizations dealing with both pets and wild animals, animal abuse, endangered species, etc. I'm planning on starting my own non profit 'campaign' of sorts to support a new non profit organization like this each month. I'm starting with animals, but don't want to donate money to someone who will use it on something completely unhelpful to the actual cause.

A. Ok I have to let you know one fact-there are NO charitable organizations/non profits where 100% of the donations go to the actual cause. I look for a range of 80-99%, some people are comfortable going as low as 75% but not me. They may have some events where 100% of what they raise in donations goes to the cause but those are usually underwrtitten by a large donor. Unfortunately they have expenses too-salaries/insurance/ov erhead/office supplies-you know the same stuff for profit companies use. Check your yellow pages or online for a local chapter of what i consider are the best options below: American Council for the Blind-Guide Dogs paws peta humane Society Check on any charity through the better business bureau.
