Go to your identified organizations website and try to determine the sources of funds. Sometimes you can find an annual report which might provide some percentages. Or if you work there consider what different sources might be funding the services being provided (and your salary).
The On With Life organization collect funds from many different sources contributionsfund raisinggifts and grants. This organization receives most it funds from government and the general public. One breakdown of funds I could find was that 74% of its funds come from; contributions gifts and grants. The sales of assets other than inventory at 20%. Lastly investment income was another 7%.
The website for On With Life provided a lot information on donors and fund raising for special projects.However itdid not give a clear picture of their financial statement. This information provided is from a financial report I was able to locate from 2014.

The Idaho Youth Ranch (youthranch.org 2017) utilizes several sources of funding for its programs and services. In addition to a retail arm of the organization consisting of Thrift Stores and Distribution Centers State and Federal Grant monetary awards are received annually. Current government grants include Runaway Homeless Youth (RHY) United Way Idaho Council for Domestic Violence Victims Assistance (ICDVVA) and sub grants managed through the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare (DHW).
The Albertsons Foundation recently awarded the Idaho Youth Ranch a substantial donation to be used towards the organizations capital campaign to relocate/rebuild their ranch facility.
There are also contracts maintained through DHW for their child welfare and childrens mental health departments. The balance of fundraising is related to activities such as Wine Women & Shoes (winewomenandshoes.com 2017). These activities however are designed to primarily generate awareness rather than secure funds as the monetary return on investment is typically a negative amount.

Government funding often referred to as public dollars is a huge source of income for many nonprofits and in some cases its their only source. Government funding sometimes referred to as public dollars includes federal state and local funding. Some states have tobacco funds and others have gambling funds but all go through some form of government. Identify a source of government funding that might be available for your organization or that your organization is already receiving.
The funds collected from taxes are spent in a lot of different ways; pay government employees schools libraries military and to fund a variety of other causes (PRLog2008). Much of the funds that make up grant money comes directly from the taxes we pay (PRLog2008). These funds are paid into the government then are passed on to wherever these dollars are being allocated whether it be; state local programs organization or an individual (PRLog2008).
I was un able to find a direct tax that provides funds to the organization that I chose. However as mentioned in the assignment itspoke totobacco funds and others have gambling funds that assist in funding nonprofits. Iowa does have some of these taxes. The major excise taxes collected by the state of Iowa are the fuel tax and the sin tax which is taxes collected on cigarettes and alcoholic. These taxes go to fund transportation projects environmental projectsand health related spending.
