Ethics: Grant Ethics for Prospect Research and Funder Relationships
Session 2 of the Ethics Series
Have you ever been uncomfortable applying to a foundation which didn’t seem to really match your organization’s profile? Many nonprofit professionals are pressured into writing to foundations who don’t match their giving history. This may be because someone knows someone on the board or because you are under pressure to find the dollars somewhere – anywhere. This session will provide information on when those techniques are a problem and when they just feel uncomfortable. Hint: if you are uncomfortable, there is probably a reason! In addition, there are times that others around you have different ethical guidelines than you.
What you will learn:
- When applying to foundations to whom you are not well aligned is a problem
- How connections between nonprofits and funders can give the appearance of a conflict
- The difference between conflict of interest and the appearance of conflict of interest

Ethics Training Series
So often ethics about grants are focused on the mismanagement of grant funding which gets flashy headlines in the news. But ethics are important throughout the full grant lifecycle from research to reporting. Each training will present information tied to grant and development codes of conduct, standard grant best practices, and case studies and will facilitate a question and answer session for each core topic.
