Keeping Ethics at the Heart of Fundraising – Doing What is Right!
As every facet of our lives becomes more data-driven, it’s important to remember the critical role of ethics in building strong relationships with your donors. A few case studies will be presented that focus on the ethical dilemmas we face in our day-to-day philanthropic fundraising, and time will be reserved in the second half of the discussion to address your individual questions. The speaker will be available afterward if you have further questions.
