AFP Fundraising Ethics Survey

Highly effective nonprofits embrace discussions about ethical leadership with Board and staff members. According to a recent survey from Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP)​, 25% of fundraisers report confronting ethical dilemmas at least 6 times per year.

"From a list of common ethical challenges, respondents also identified ethical issues on which they need more guidance and resources. Donor control and restrictions on how gifts can be used was identified by almost half (48 percent) of respondents as a critical issue, followed by conflicts of interest (41 percent) and “tainted” money from donors (40 percent)."
