If I were writing a sentence, say, to announce the annual PTA supper, I might want to write, "The PTA's annual supper will be held on Friday." But it might be better written, "The PTA is holding its annual supper on Friday." Or, if I wanted to write, "The USA's support of Israel is commendable", I would probably do better to write, "The USA provides commendable support to Israel."
