“…NPOs are often confronted with the insufficient funds required to carry out activities and accomplish their mission statements and this represent one of the greatest problems facing NPOs today (Vaceková 2013;Kumar et al 2022). Hence, NPOs need to focus special attention on fundraising activities and develop fundraising strategies that will ensure long-term benefits and stability for their organizations.…”

Purpose – To fund their missions, non-profit organizations (NPOs) use a variety of fundraising activities such as applying for public funds (grants), contacting potential donors by phone, email, or through social networks; organizing various events; renting property, collecting membership fees, and selling their own products and services. The aim of this paper is to investigate whether there are any statistically significant differences between NPOs operating in Croatian coastal tourist destinations and NPOs operating in continental destinations with regard to selling products and services to raise funds. Methodology – For the purpose of obtaining answers to the research questions, primary research was conducted using an online structured questionnaire. Research in Croatian coastal tourist destinations was conducted from May to June 2018, while in continental tourist destinations from November 2019 to March 2020. The sample numbered 756 NPOs, and a total of 389 correctly completed questionnaires were returned. Findings – The results of the research show that almost all activities relating to selling products and providing services, with the exception of activities in organizing guided tours, are carried out more often by NPOs operating in Croatian coastal destinations. Activities relating to the organization of guided tours are more often carried out by NPOs operating in continental destinations. Contribution – The theoretical contribution of the paper show that the coastal NPO as a non- profit destination stakeholder led effective policy in the most cases but not in all. The paper’s practical contribution is that it provides the representatives of NPOs with a new approach about the activities of fundraising. Future research needs to be done to estimate the impact of NPOs on tourism sector, before fundraising strategies becomes widespread.

“…This type of rapid transformation did not come as easily for smaller organizations in surrounding communities, such as local nonprofits, schools, and businesses. While the CARES Act and other emergency initiatives made government funding available (NCON, 2022), many community organizations struggled to meet the challenges brought on by the pandemic (CAF America, 2020; Johnson et al, 2021;Kumar et al, 2022;Ng & Manzelli, 2020). For scholars and practitioners in the university-community engagement field, this context raised both unprecedented challenges and unexpected opportunities to strengthen community connections and engage in collaborative public problem solving (Ohmer et al, 2022).…”

When the COVID-19 pandemic forced P–12 schools to temporarily transition to online learning, it exacerbated the already deep-seated educational inequities in communities across the United States. Employing a grounded theory approach, this paper explores how educators and community stakeholders created a free full-time volunteer-led K–2 learning pod for historically underserved students. The authors discuss the opportunities and challenges experienced in the pod’s implementation, as well as lessons for these types of university-community partnerships. The findings of the study reveal the potential of equity-focused collaborations that accept risk, occupy uncomfortable liminal spaces, and leverage informal networks and relationships to build trusting and authentic community partnerships. The paper concludes with a call to reimagine the parameters of university-community engagement in times of crisis.

“…In the healthcare sector, a whopping 85% of waste is regarded as non-hazardous, whereas a smaller yet significant portion, comprising 15%, raises alarms due to its potentially infectious, chemically reactive, or radioactive characteristics, as highlighted by Torkayesh et al (2021). This latter category of waste has the potential to transmit diseases to patients, healthcare workers and the wider community (Das et al, 2021;Kumar et al, 2022). For instance, healthcare sharps such as needles, if improperly disposed of, can pose a significant threat to those who come into contact with them (Alon et al, 2020).…”

PurposeThe objective of this study is to systematically identify, categorize and assess the driving factors and interdependencies associated with various types of healthcare waste. The study specifically focuses on waste that has been managed or is recommended for treatment through the application of Lean Six Sigma (LSS) methodologies.Design/methodology/approachTo accomplish the study’s objectives, interpretive structural modeling (ISM) was utilized. This analytical tool aided in quantifying the driving power and dependencies of each form of healthcare waste, referred to as “enablers,” as well as their related variables. As a result, these enablers were classified into four distinct categories: autonomous, dependent, linkage and drivers or independents.FindingsIn the healthcare sector, the “high cost” (HC) emerges as an autonomous variable, operating with substantial independence. Conversely, variables such as skill wastage, poor service quality and low patient satisfaction are identified as dependent variables. These are distinguished by their low driving power and high dependency. On the flip side, variables related to transportation, production, processing and defect waste manifest strong driving forces and minimal dependencies, categorizing them as independent factors. Notably, inventory waste (IW) is highlighted as a salient issue within the healthcare domain, given its propensity to engender additional forms of waste.Research limitations/implicationsEmploying the ISM model, along with comprehensive case study analyses, provides a detailed framework for examining the complex hierarchies of waste existing within the healthcare sector. This methodological approach equips healthcare leaders with the tools to accurately pinpoint and eliminate unnecessary expenditures, thereby optimizing operational efficiency and enhancing patient satisfaction. Of particular significance, the study calls attention to the key role of IW, which often acts as a trigger for other forms of waste in the sector, thus identifying a crucial area requiring focused intervention and improvement.Originality/valueThis research reveals new insights into how waste variables are structured in healthcare, offering a useful guide for managers looking to make their waste-reduction strategies more efficient. These insights are highly relevant not just for healthcare providers but also for the administrators and researchers who are helping to shape the industry. Using the classification and ranking model developed in this study, healthcare organizations can more easily spot and address common types of waste. In addition, the model serves as a useful tool for practitioners, helping them gain a deeper, more detailed understanding of how different factors are connected in efforts to reduce waste.
