Assignment Context

This assignment and case serve as the foundation for many of the graded assignments and

practical assignments. What your group produces here is on your critical path for this course!

Throughout the semester, you will develop this idea by producing individual and group

deliverables relevant to risk management. The work you do will help to support your success in

the final test.

Group members who do not contribute to the group deliverables may receive a lower grade

than the group or even a zero. Remember that faculty observe the group interactions during

class time.

History

Growing up$,$ your family has always had a philanthropic side. This meant supporting charitable

causes by volunteering the family$$s time to work for a different charity each month. Everyone in

your family, from your baby sister to your grandparents, was expected to participate. It was

hard to decide which charities to support, and your family tried to share their efforts evenly

among many charities. You were the youngest in the family, so your suggestions weren$$t

always considered.

Fast forward $10$ or $15$ years, you are an adult enrolled at Conestoga College. You$$ve moved

away to a different city, country, or continent to embark on this adventure. You are really

missing being able to participate in charity work with your family. As you meet more and more

people at Conestoga, you find many of your classmates are in similar situations. When

discussing your similar experiences, there was much interest in creating a fundraising event to

support a Canadian charitable cause. Your new friends at Conestoga decide you will work

collaboratively to give back to your community. The first decision your group must make is

which charitable cause your group will support, followed by the type of event you will organize.Each group will complete the following tasks during the Week $3$ class:

$1.$ Review the rubric!

$2.$ The group will decide how the information will be presented to your faculty member. MS

Word or MS PowerPoint $($or equivalent$)$ is acceptable. PDF format is unacceptable. Ensure

the assignment requirements are labelled and organized.

$3.$ The document you hand in must include the following:

a$.$ List of group members present $($Name and student numbers$),$ include and identify

missing members.

b$.$ The role and contributions made by each team member.

c$.$ A description of how the brainstorming was conducted for each session. Include the

steps$/$process and insights and$/$or commentary.

d$.$ The results $($the list of ideas generated$)$ for each session. A minimum of $2$ ideas per

group member is expected.

e$.$ Confirmation that the charity operates in Canada. The following sites may be

helpful.

i$.$ List of charities and certain other qualified donees $-$ basic search $($cra$-$arc.gc$.$ca$)$

ii$.$ Charity Ratings and Donor Resources $|$ Charity Navigator

iii. Donate to Canadian Charities Online $|$ CanadaHelps

f$.$ An insightful reflection of the activities including at minimum:

i$.1$ thing the group did well

ii$.1$ thing the group can improve on

g$.$ References $($mandatory$)$

$4.$ Include an assignment submission schedule for your group using this table $($or similar$).$ For

Group assignments only $1$ person in the group submits, all students will have visibility:
