PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: What would you do?

As professional fundraisers our ethics are more than words written on a document.  At the end of the day, our ability to hold ourselves accountable to the highest standards of ethics is critical to our reputation.  Bad behavior of one professional/organization puts us all in a bad light.  How comfortable do you feel with your internal policies and your practice of those polices? 

We will put you to the test with scenarios that ask...What would you do?

Resources will include:

AFP Code of Ethical Principles and Standards

Donor Bill of Rights

Policy Review

Appropriate Stewardship Activities
