Keeping Your Organization Out of the Headlines: An Ethical Approach to Fundraising
About the Event
April Educational Luncheon
“Charity returns donation”…“Arrest of non-profit executive casts shadow”…” Audit cites group for ‘shameful’ misspending”… “Former museum worker charged in theft”…“Cancer charity admits bogus claims”
Ever read headlines like these and think “thank goodness that isn’t my organization?” We will hear from journalists, legal experts, and development professionals to learn how these sorts of stories come to light and how to avoid them. Join us for a panel discussion about how adhering to the AFP Donor Bill of Rights and Code of Ethics can keep you from having to explain headlines like these to your donors and Boards of Directors.
