12 Oct Ethics: Grant Ethics for Prospect Research and Funder Relationships

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.
