Problems the Agency Faces

Because CPARC is a non-profit organization, it requires governmental and private funding in order to accomplish its goals and help its clients. However, this can present itself as a problem if the current administration does not feel that CPARC is a worthy and deserving group of public funding. Without help from the government, the amount of facilities, resources and volunteers that make the organization efficient and successful, will begin to diminish. Also, private donations of money and time add to the amount of impact the volunteers will be able to provide in making the lives of the clients of CPARC easier and more comfortable. Another issue that CPARC needs to overcome is the possibility that not enough Americans are aware of their mission and how they help those with disabilities. Because this association helps people with disabilities and because of cultural assumptions, most donators will ignore a valuable cause such as CPARC. People will try to help other non-profit organizations that have a more socially acceptable image that in the end will benefit the individual's reputation and standing in society. As an organization, CPARC needs to focus on finiding sufficent funding for it's facilities, resources and volunteers and also raising awareness among the general population about it's image and benefits it provides.
