Ethical Fundraising Red Flags

This training is designed for nonprofit professionals to identify and navigate ethical challenges in fundraising, guided by the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) Code of Ethics. Participants will examine real-world scenarios that may signal unethical practices and learn how to follow ethical and best practices in their organizations' fundraising efforts. This training will empower professionals to build ethical fundraising practices grounded in AFP standards, fostering donor trust and organizational credibility. Learning objectives will be:

  • To identify ethical red flags in fundraising such as undue donor influence, misrepresentation of contributions, and lack of transparency through the lens of the AFP Code of Ethics.
  • To apply AFP's ethical principles to develop strategies that balance fundraising objectives with maintaining donor confidentiality, honesty in communications, and preventing conflicts of interest.
  • To understand how the AFP Code of Ethics guides decisions on accepting or rejecting donations and learn to communicate these decisions ethically and effectively to stakeholders.
