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.
