The non-profit community partner that I have done my community service learning hours with is funded by some grants, but most of its funding has come from private donations. The employees of the Day Workers Center Of Mountain View who tend to clerical work were unable to disclose some information regarding their requirements for application or approval system. They may be unaware of the way managerial decisions are made or were uncomfortable disusing private information regarding their employer. My guess is that there is some government assistance provided to keep the center running that would have to meet a particular requirements to guarantee assistance. Other programs of similar nature have quotas to prove their capabilities. However, from a conversation with the center's Director Maria Morraquin she once emphasized how they heavily relied on private donation to maintain the facility up to code.
The Day Workers Center of Mountain View is dealing with a shift in their day to day process. This could also result in a changes in funding if they are unable to meet their purposes. It will be interesting to see what will happen to the organization and how they will manage to stay afloat which I believe they will make happen.
