ethics - Professional Fundraising: "International fundraising community approves Code of Ethics

By Becky Slack

The International Statement of Ethical Principles has been formally accepted by 24 countries worldwide following the fourth International Fundraising Summit in Holland.

The document, which has been approved after four years of negotiations, aims to “foster the growth of a worldwide fundraising community dedicated to accountability, transparency and effectiveness”. It can accommodate political, cultural and legal differences, and focuses on five essential principles: honesty, respect, integrity, compassion, and transparency."
