AFP Ethics Month: Is it legal? Is it right?

40 South Limestone Street,Springfield OH 45503

26 October, 2022

Description

As part of AFP's Ethics Month celebration, Ann Charles Watts (JD, ACFRE) shares real-world examples of how to apply ethical practices in your nonprofit. That's right, we celebrate—because ethics makes philanthropy and fundraising possible. Without ethics, giving doesn’t happen. Fundraising doesn’t happen. Change and impact don’t happen. Ethics makes it all possible, and THAT’S worth celebrating. And while we celebrate in October, ethics is critical all the time. So our goal for Ethics Awareness Month is simple: helping you live ethics out loud. Growing your ethical skills. And demonstrating your commitment to the highest ethical standards. After all, AFP members have already demonstrated that commitment by signing the AFP Code of Ethical Standards. This October, share your commitment by joining the conversation on social media and using #LivingEthicsOutLoud and #EthicsAwarenessMonth.
