Ethics Breakfast | October 18th

As fundraising professionals, we are often faced with ethical dilemmas that don’t come with an instruction manual. How do we navigate situations where donor desires conflict with our organization's mission? Whether it’s a donor threatening to withhold funding over a political stance or a CEO wanting to accept a gift misaligned with our values, these challenges require careful consideration and skillful negotiation.

We invite you to join us for a thought-provoking presentation and hands-on activity focused on the complex issues of ethics in the fundraising profession. More details
