Are funding
opportunities available in your community similar to those in Washington, D.C.
listed below?
From Washington, D.C., Boston, Chicago, Atlanta, Baltimore,
San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles. Nationally within the U.S. and
globally with the World Bank and others.
The funding environment has changed since March 2020 with
the start of the COVID-19 crisis.
Your mission & vison for your nonprofit in the
U.S. Must have certain perimeters in place for award and success.
You cannot be a separate island in seeking your funding as in the past.
Your mission & vision and program must be enhanced with some sustainability
and resiliency to meet the future demands for your community that you
serve. Addressing disasters, emergencies, and impact of climate change
must be a part of your ‘enhanced’ mission & vision.
Is your organization a member of BEMA International. This
differs from your individual membership.
Do not consider, ADD BEMA International as your
subject matter expert membership association to your grant proposal for your
organization. You’ll be surprised at the response. Your individual
membership takes on a whole new meaning when your organization becomes a member.
Without BEMA International. You may be just business
as usual.
bEMA International “We are now
faced with the fact that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the
fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history
there is such a thing as being too late. Procrastination is still the
thief of time. Life often leaves us standing bare, naked and dejected
with a lost opportunity. This may well be mankind’s last chance to
choose between chaos or community.” Dr. Martin

"This media focus gives outsiders the illusion of a rich and prospering country, and here are 10 facts about poverty in the United Arab Emirates worth knowing. "
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) GDP per capita is a whopping 49,000, and the unemployment rate is as low as 2.4 percent. At first glance, the country appears to be thriving with room for growth; yet, there is a large population living in poverty in the UAE. This is not present in the news as the focus is usually on the prosperous cities of Abu Dhabi and Dubai, both of which control the majority of the UAE’s total wealth.
This media focus gives outsiders the illusion of a rich and prospering country, and here are 10 facts about poverty in the United Arab Emirates worth knowing.
These facts about poverty in the United Arab Emirates show that although stable in many regards, the UAE could do with foreign aid and government assistance.
While the country has impressive employment rates and GDP per capita, the percentage of citizens living in or at poverty level is striking. Thankfully, the local government of the UAE has implemented assistance programs in an effort to reduce and relief local poverty. But also in the meantime, assistance should be offered and readily available for those in need.
