2 In the education sector there are many ways which the government can be impactful especially in the funding performance of non-profit organization and this is the phenomenon which I would like to study. To be specific want to know whether when the government funds increase will improve the educational outcomes especially to the schools which are run by non- profit organization, ( Teague, 2015). The reason why I want to research is because education plays a huge role in our societies and therefore it is important to understand whether when these gas will be filled, there will be positive income as if there will be one, then it is essential that this should be considered. There are many ways which I believe when I utilize this I will be able to develop a research proposal for the study. These includes carrying out interviews, field research and case studies as well. The first thing which I would do is to ensure that I conduct literature review to identify some of theories and models that are in existence. Subsequently, I would utilize interviews and case studies as preliminary steps to gather qualitative data. Interviews with nonprofit leaders, government officials, and educators can provide insights into the funding mechanisms and policies that affect nonprofit schools. Case studies of specific nonprofit schools can help identify variables and factors that may influence educational outcomes. Part II: Method of Data Collection: While interviews and case studies can provide valuable qualitative data and insights, the most suitable method for addressing the research questions and hypothesis in a quantitative manner would be a survey-based approach, ( Diefenbach, 2009). Surveys are important as they allow for the collection of structured, quantifiable data from a larger and more diverse sample of nonprofit-run schools. By administering the survey to a representative sample of nonprofit schools across different regions, I can collect quantitative data
3 that will allow for statistical analysis and hypothesis testing. The statistical analysis will include employing statistical techniques such as regression analysis to examine the relationship between government funding and educational outcomes while controlling for other relevant variables.
