Amongst these recordings, NARAS applauded the performances with 225 Grammy nominations. Band members were South Park characters, while Family Guy did an entire episode on the band's hit "Africa." As a band, TOTO sold 35 million albums, and today continue to be a worldwide arena draw staging standing room only events across the globe.

The list of those they individually collaborated with reads like a who's who of Rock & Roll Hall of Famers, alongside the biggest names in music.

  • Does Meeting Bbb Accountability Standards Affect Charitable
    DOES MEETING BBB ACCOUNTABILITY STANDARDS AFFECT CHARITABLE GIVING? A FOLLOW-UP STUDY OF NEW YORK METROPOLITAN AREA CHARITIES, REPLICATED BY A NATIONAL SAMPLE Greg Chen, Ph.D. Baruch College, City University of New York August 2013 Introduction Donations are an essential source of revenue for most charities. Unrestricted contributions are especially important for support of general operations and capacity-building. The national aggregate amount of contributions revenue is significant. According to Giving USA, total charitable giving in the U.S. reached $316.23 billion in 2012, an increase of 3.5 percent from 2011 (Giving USA, 2013). However, the nonprofit sector has grown even more rapidly, outpacing the growth of contributions, leading to increased competition among charities and making giving decisions challenging for donors (Cnaan, et al. 2011; Hasenwinkel, 2006; Hager, 2003). Ideally, the performance of nonprofits in terms of effectiveness, efficiency and accountability should be evaluated with the results compared and reported to the public, so that donors can decide on which nonprofit to support, based not only on their values and taste, but also on the charity’s performance and accountability. However, performance measurement of nonprofits is complicated. Practitioners and academic communities have not yet developed common methods and criteria for charity impact evaluation that can be applied across subsectors, and in some cases, even within service areas (Richie et al., 2004). Many charities also lack in-house expertise to conduct meaningful self-evaluations of outcomes or operations performance. In this context, donors may base their giving decisions on accountability measures such as nonprofit governance and oversight practices, accuracy of fundraising solicitations, financial elements such as budgets and program expense ratios, and transparency in terms of easy access to nonprofit information (Polonsky and Grau, 2011).

  • Veterans Charity – What Can Charities Learn from This Successful 'Reconstruction'
    Veterans Charity – what can charities learn from this successful 'reconstruction' 31 OCTOBER 2018 CATEGORY: ARTICLE In September the Charity Commission produced a report following its investigation into incidents of mismanagement and an arrest on suspicion of fraud at the Veterans Charity and the appointment of new trustees to ‘reconstruct’ the Charity. The report is an interesting case study of how a charity in signicant difculty can be restored to health. It also raises issues relating to charity management and nances for other trustees to take on board. Facts of the case The Veterans Charity provides urgent short term support to military veterans in need, formed to commemorate the 65th anniversary of the D- Day landings in 2018. The Charity Commission became involved with the Veterans Charity in 2014 in relation to a number of compliance concerns, particularly regarding the charity’s nancial controls, which culminated in a police investigation into its CEO and a trial. The Charity Commission summarises in its nal case report its initial concerns regarding the charity’s activities, being evidence: … of both poor governance and poor nancial management of the charity and its affairs [that] the standard of the charity’s record keeping was very poor, and the charity had not retained its nancial records for the required period [that] the original trustees failed to exercise reasonable care and prudence in relation to some of the charity’s fundraising activities which exposed the charity to undue risks, including misappropriation of its funds [that] the original trustees did not exercise sufcient oversight or control over the charity’s expenditure incurred by the CEO and were unable to demonstrate that all of the charity’s expenditure was a proper application of the charity’s funds in furtherance of its charitable purposes The Charity also did not have the minimum number of trustees required by its governing document, and its board was therefore inquorate for a period to make decisions.

  • An Historical Overview of Philanthropy in Rock
    HEEDING THE CALL: AN HISTORICAL OVERVIEW OF PHILANTHROPY IN ROCK By JI HOON LEE A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2010 1 © 2010 Ji Hoon Lee 2 To everyone who nurtured my intellectual curiosity, academic interests, and sense of scholarship throughout my lifetime, making this dissertation possible 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I thank my chair, Dr. William McKeen, and members of my supervisory committee for their mentoring and my family for their loving encouragement, which motivated me to complete my dissertation. They have guided me with motivation, encouragement, and words of wisdom. I am eternally grateful for their support and help throughout this journey. Thank you for everything. Sometimes, something happens to us, and the words “destiny” and “fate” seem to accurately describe the strange occurrence. For me, Live Aid—the cross-continental mega charity rock concert and one of the main subjects explored in my study—was one of those magic moments. I still vividly remember the day of the concert, July 13, 1985; it was an eye-opening revelation that ultimately led me to become a rock and roll enthusiast, and to say that the concert changed my life is still a vast understatement. I had heard the music of Duran Duran, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Madonna, and Bob Dylan, but I had never seen any of them perform. However, the concert was not just about the music but about saving people’s lives in Ethiopia, dying from hunger and famine.
