Doing the Right Thing: Ethics in the Nonprofit Sector (Special edition of Board Member)

(National Center for Nonprofit Boards, 1997)
The nonprofit sector has often operated under the assumption that its underlying mission—to serve the public good—ensures that it will operate ethically. This has, in some cases, led to behavior driven by an "end justifies the means" mentality and in other cases to a naive assumption that good impulses immunize nonprofit board members and staff against temptation with disastrous consequences. This special edition of Board Member is a practical guide to testing your organization's ethical decision-making ability; building an ethics program unique to your organization, using ethical fund-raising tactics; and understanding how the Internet can increase accountability.
