Muhammadiyah's charitable efforts as a community based on economic assets have a significant number of assets that are non-profit oriented. This certainly will be very different in the perspective of economic assets when viewed from the accounting field because Muhammadiyah charity efforts are based on publicity, this is very interesting to study because there are still a lack of public-based research. The purpose of this study is to reveal the perspective of the meaning of charity business as a community based on economic assets in the Muhammadiyah Business Charity sector in health in Jember Regency. This research uses a phenomenology paradigm with qualiative methods to interpret charity business as an asset-based economy of humanity. The perspective of economic assets is similar to the founders statement of Muhammadiyah, KH Ahmad Dahlan, such as ta'awun, tawashi ', and fastabikhul khoirot. When the internalization of economic assets is successful, the performance of charity efforts will continue to increase and not cause fundamental ideological conflicts. The results of the research show that Amal is a community-based economic asset and human resource as an economic driver of the people, of course as a means of propaganda, a means of improving public health services, and as an organizational asset. In essence, the charitable endeavors of Ranap Ambulu clinic, Asyifa Wuluhan Clinic, Ar Rahman Bangsalsari Clinic and dr. Suherman Sumbersari in Jember Regency is a means to improve the community health services community and also the assets of Muhammadiyah organizations in Jember Regency.Keywords Business Charity, Perspective, Economic Assets, PhenomenologyAbstrak: Upaya amal usaha Muhammadiyah sebagai komunitas yang didasarkan pada aset ekonomi memiliki sejumlah besar aset yang berorientasi nirlaba. Ini tentu akan sangat berbeda dalam perspektif aset ekonomi jika dilihat dari bidang akuntansi karena upaya amal usaha Muhammadiyah didasarkan pada publisitas, ini sangat menarik untuk dikaji karena masih kurangnya penelitian berbasis publik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap perspektif makna aset ekonomi amal usaha Muhammadiyah di bidang kesehatan di Kabupaten Jember. Penelitian ini menggunakan paradigma kualitatif dengan metode fenomenologis interpretif untuk menginterpretasikan aset ekonomi amal usaha berbasis keumatan. Perspektif aset ekonomi dikonfirmasi oleh nilai permaknaan yang dipromosikan oleh pendiri Muhammadiyah yaitu Kyai Haji Ahmad Dahlan, antara lain ta'awun, tawashi ', dan fastabikhul khoirot. Kemudian makna aset ekonomi diinternalisasi dalam semua upaya amal melalui beberapa tahap secara bersamaan. Ketika internalisasi aset ekonomi berhasil, kinerja upaya amal akan terus meningkat dan tidak menyebabkan konflik ideologis mendasar. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Amal adalah aset ekonomi berbasis masyarakat dan sumber daya manusia sebagai pendorong ekonomi rakyat, tentu saja sebagai sarana propaganda, sarana meningkatkan pelayanan kesehatan masyarakat, dan sebagai aset organisasi. Intinya, upaya amal klinik Ranap Ambulu, Klinik Asyifa Wuluhan, Klinik Ar Rahman Bangsalsari dan dr. Suherman Sumbersari di Kabupaten Jember adalah sarana untuk meningkatkan pelayanan kesehatan masyarakat dan juga aset organisasi Muhammadiyah di Kabupaten Jember.Kata Kunci:  Amal Usaha, Aset Ekonomi, Berbasis Keumatan

A team including university researchers, a public library, and a community non-profit agency worked together to test the effectiveness of a universal, community-based intervention to increase parents’ child-directed speech, back-and-forth interactions with their child, and knowledge of child development. The comparison group was drawn from families who regularly attended story time, had children of eligible age, but did not attend Small Talk. The curriculum utilized was LENA Start. We found that intervention families grew significantly in Adult words, Conversational Turns with child, and in Child vocalizations compared to the families who did not attend the parent education program.

Community-based organizations (CBOs) are non-profit organizations established voluntarily by members in order to deliver specified services effectively. However, CBO development in Tanzania reported performing unsatisfactorily. This chapter highlights causal key problems and controversial and established solutions that can improve CBO development. Among the problems are financial dependency, weak managerial skills, low ICT coverage, gender inequality, poverty, and poor infrastructure. But the controversial issues are ineffective consultation between key actors and gender dominated by males. To achieve CBO development, the chapter notes the use of civic engagement, especially sensitization, awareness creation while strategic leadership focus on voluntary, sacrificial and compromising leaderships. The chapter concludes that CBO development in Tanzania is best to apply components of civic engagement and strategic leadership while the recommendation is to combine and integrate both civic engagement and strategic leadership with their essential sub-components.

AbstractAlthough the United States has been impacted by numerous devastating disasters over the last 10 years, there have been only limited efforts between the governmental and non-profit/voluntary organizations to meet the multiple disaster health and mental health needs of the community. Too often, responding organizations compete to provide services, duplicate efforts, and frequently under-estimate the need for services.Recent efforts have been undertaken by The American Red Cross and other groups to resolve this issue. Governmental and community-based organizations have been invited to participate in planning sessions to pre-identify roles and responsibilities, as well as to exchange key information about the services each group can and does provide.These efforts have lead to an increased awareness of the potential problems and the development of cohesive plans to provide medical and emotional support services to impacted communities. This has led to improved care for those with serious injuries or psychological crisis, while those with less critical problems have been managed appropriately without needing to be immediately referred to overcrowded emergency departments or physician's offices.

With increased frequency of extreme weather events due to climate change, there is growing need for urban, small-scale adaptation and preventative measures such as stormwater management to reduce the risk of flooding. Homeowners are often reluctant to adopt preventative stormwater measures without tangible benefits or direct experience with the flooding risks or other negative externalities. Using community-based social marketing (CBSM) as a framework, we investigated how to more effectively encourage stormwater management at the household level. In collaboration with the Canadian non-profit organization, Reep Green Solutions (Region of Waterloo, Ontario), we focused on an existing program, the RAIN Home Visit (RHV), which was designed to increase engagement in pro-environmental stormwater management behaviors. Reports from the RHV were assessed, and past program participants were interviewed using a semi-structured question set to identify barriers encountered in enacting these behaviors and to assess the program for inclusion of CBSM principles and tools. Surveys were used to collect demographic data from participants. We found that while preferred behaviors were explained and incentives were provided, more thorough, clear explanation was needed for homeowners as well as incentives of suitable size and value to effectively motivate homeowners to change. Key features that should be included in future RHV programs are public commitments, follow-up, and reminders. Further research should consider risk perception impacts with CBSM, to determine how these can work together and, perhaps, which precedes the other. Some people may be more influenced by social norms to act and others by risk perception.
