Poverty level has been the most challenging aspect to the communities in New York. Therefore, different organizations have come up to help reduce the region's poverty level. One of the most notable organizations that have been fighting poverty in the region since 1897 is the Bowel Mission organization. The organization was formed to provide food, protection, and health care to the poor individuals within New York and give hope to them by promising them a brighter future. The organization is considered the best performing nonprofit organization that the government does not head. The organization aims to eradicate poverty in the region has been supported by different individuals and other organizations that have come up to help through the Bowel Mission organization to help assist the people of New York. Different stakeholders involved in reducing the poverty levels in New York with the cooperation of bowel mission include the organization employees, New York government, individual donors, organizations partners, volunteers, and the local community.

Bowel Mission has quite a large number of employees who have different responsibilities within the organization. Employees are part of the most important stakeholders in any organization. There is no organization or project that can run without the employees; thus, they play an important part in the organization's mission (Miragaia et al., 2016). The employees of Bowel Mission conduct activities such as identifying people who need help from the organization, providing food and shelter to the identified individuals, and giving counseling to the poor individuals by giving them hope for better days to come. The organization does not pay its employees as much as they are usually paid in profit organizations (Miragaia et al., 2016). Some of the employees are college graduates who work as an internship within the organization. Thus the organization's employees are very important in reducing poverty in New York.

The New York government also plays an important in ensuring that the organization has a fund to continue in its mission of helping the needy. The New York government finances the organization (Raj, 2021). This helps the organization in conducting its activities. To offer help to a large group of people, the organization needs many funds. Because the organization does not have direct sources of funds from its services, it's therefore needed to have internal sources such as the funds from the government.

Another important stakeholder is individual donors. Individual donors involve peoples who individually offer to donate funds to the organization. The aim of these donors is always to help the organization continue to conduct all its services (Raj, 2021). Funding the organization will help eradicate the poverty level within New York communities (Sandage, 2021). Donors are usually the most important stakeholders of Bowel Mission since the organization usually depends on donations to help in carrying out its operations. Therefore donors play a very important aspect in the operations of the organization.

Organization partners involve other outside organizations that offer to participate in helping Bowel Mission in helping the poor individuals in the community. The outside organizations offer to assist the organization with funds, goods, and services essential to Bowel Mission in conducting its operations (Rupp et al., 2014). For example, organizations that produce foodstuffs such as flour participates in helping Bowel in feeding the poor individuals within the community. Therefore it's important when Bowel cooperates with different organizations that offer help to the organization in carrying out its operations.

Other stakeholders include the volunteers who offer services to the organization without gaining any personal profit. This includes working for the organization without payment. Individuals or organizations can offer to participate in Bowel Mission operations without being compensated. Some of the volunteers' services include participating in fieldwork and offering to assist the organization's employees in carrying out their activities (Sandage, 2021). The volunteer's main aim is to reduce the poverty levels in the community by cooperating with the organization.

The final stakeholders within the Bowel Mission organization are the local community. The local community involves the citizens who benefit from the organization's operations (Miragaia et al., 2016). The local communities are the people of New York who require help. The local community plays a part in reducing the poverty level in the community.

Stakeholders in nonprofit organizations are always important in ensuring the success of the organization's objectives. Hence stakeholders for Bowel Mission are very crucial in the operations of the organization. It's therefore always very important for the organization to make clear steps in looking for their stakeholders.
