Ethical Decision Making in Fund Raising

Tested by the Miami Valley NSFRE chapter, this ethical decision-making model helps fundraisers make the right choices.Still reeling from recent fund-raising scandals, nonprofit organizations are facing greater scrutiny of their actions. Ethical Decision Making in Fund Raising helps charitable organizations steer clear of dubious practices in their fund-raising endeavors. A tested ethical decision-making model demonstrates how to assess alternative courses of action. Forms, checklists, examples, and in-depth coverage of the ethics of several important fund-raising topics-including diversity, money from for-profit corporations, preparing financial information for foundations, and board and volunteer participation-allow readers to better understand and embrace this philosophy in their organization.Marilyn Fischer, PhD (Dayton, OH), is an expert on the subject and has written more than twenty articles for trade and scholarly journals.
