PROGRAM:

It's Fundraising Ethics Month again but this time with a twist! For those who missed our ethical dilemmas conversation previously, we will catch you up and then jump into new situations that have evolved in the last year that were not even on our radar before. This presentation will cover why ethics matter in fundraising then we will learn from case studies and discuss tools and resources available to help in ethical decision-making. Participants will be invited to share unique situations for discussion by the presenters and fellow fundraisers.
