Product Description
Praise for Ethical Fundraising
"What a timely publication! Here are the luminaries in the field of ethics in fundraising, a topic that all professional fundraisers must engage with in order to build the trust and confidence of the giving public."
--Dr. Sue-Anne Wallace, FAICD, MFIA, CEO, Fundraising Institute Australia, International Observer, AFP's Ethics Committee
"Ethical Fundraising is an invaluable collection of essays based on the rich experience of philanthropic leaders. The book is full of cases, anecdotes, codes, and other hands-on material as well as wise reflections on the central role of ethics in fundraising."
--Michael O'Neill, Professor of Nonprofit Management, University of San Francisco
"A new book on ethics is decidedly welcome. As professionals, we can't ignore the increasing issues and pressures around us when it comes to ethical practice, and this book will not only add to our store of knowledge but will once again spur us to examine our own decisions and behaviors while we promote ethics in the organizations we serve."
--Dr. Lilya Wagner, CFRE, Faculty, The Fund Raising School
"The case studies alone make this book a valuable contribution to the work of fund-raisers and nonprofit board members. The authors' applications of ethics codes and standards to the case studies offer a bonus. Part Two of the book puts on the table a few of the most vexing challenges the nonprofit sector faces--superb."
--Timothy L. Seiler, Director, Public Service and The Fund Raising School, The Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University

This book does a pretty exhaustive take on ethics and nonprofit fundraising. Definitely a valuable read for an NPO fundraiser! April 13, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I liked this book a lot. I can't say I loved it because I'm not in love with the topic. As a licenced attorney and CPA I have had to study ethics as they relate to my two true professions: law and accounting. But I think this book does a wonderful job covering the different aspects of ethics that pop up in the nonprofit sector. Most of which have to do with fundraising. In broad terms the subject of ethics is broken into (1) Ethical Fundraising, and (2) Ethics as a guiding force. And I group the topics of this book as follows:
CODES AND STANDARDS
>>Ethics codes and standards
>>The context and development of international codes and standards
>>Web sites for international fundraising codes of ethics and standards
>>Statement of values and standards for excellence of the Tuscon Symphony Society dba Tucson Symphony Orchestra
NONPROFIT SECTOR
>>Restoring public confidence in the nonprofit sector
>>Regulation in the nonprofit sector
>>Between the real and the ideal: A meditation on the future of ethical reflections for philanthropic fundraisers
FUNDRAISER ETHICS
>>Honesty and full disclosure
>>Ethical decision making
>>The appearance of impropriety
>>Tainted money
>>Compensation
>>Ethical considerations of making The Ask
>>Choosing a leadership role
NONPROFIT ETHICS
>>Using donations as intended
DONOR RIGHTS
>>Rights of donors
>>Public privacy: An exploration of issues of privacy and fundraising
GRANTS
>>Both sides now: The ethics of grantmaking and grantseeking
>>Ethical relationships between grantees and funders
I highly recommend this book to anyone who is going to be responsible for the fundraising function at any NPO. This book was well researched, planned, outlined, and written. 5 stars!
