Session Information
Everyone understands that ethics is critical to fundraising. After all, without public trust and confidence, fundraising simply cannot occur. But too often we look at ethics in a very limited fashion: “It’s a list of things we can and cannot do,” or “That’s the job of the fundraiser.” In an increasingly connected world where accountability, ethics and transparency are not just buzz words but fundamental aspects of a donor’s (and society’s) outlook, we must re-examine what it means to be ethical.
Andrea McManus, CFRE, , the chair of the Association of Fundraising Professionals, will explore how organizations can use ethics to reach out to the public to generate support and the role of fundraisers, board members and senior staff in creating an “ethical” organization. Specific ethical standards and examples will be used to underscore key points and ideas.
