Have you ever encountered a situation with a donor or charitable gift that made you think: “I know this is legal, but is it ethical?” Ethics plays a significant role when it comes to securing philanthropic support from donors. Institutions and fundraisers must be well-equipped to deal with gray areas and resolve ethical dilemmas quickly. Learn how to identify ethical dilemmas, and principles for resolving them, to ensure your organization is held in high regard by staff, donors, and the public.
Linda C. Hartley of H2Growth Strategies will lead this discussion on the importance of values and ethical decision making. Interactive case studies will be presented with the opportunity to discuss your own experience with ethical dilemmas and related news events. Hartley has been teaching ethics for nonprofits in the U.S. and on several continents for more than twenty years.
Submit your ethical fundraising questions at registration.
