All Well and Good:A Case for the Ethics of Philanthropic FundraisingThe Premise: Society’s most deeply held values are expressed in the work of
nonprofit organizations
Those charged with raising this support – both professional fundraisers and other paid and volunteer organizational leaders – have dual obligations: 1. Effective fundraising to support mission-based organizations 2. Ethical practices consistent with mission-based values and the demands of serving the public trust

All Well and Good:A Case for the Ethics of Philanthropic Fundraising
The Logic The AFP mission statement aspires to promote fundraising practice
that is both ethical and effective in service to the public trust and a healthy democracy
Philanthropic fundraisers (and other nonprofit leaders) serve the public good – they are, in that way, public servants. The work they do serves causes that reflect society’s most deeply held values: education, health, justice, environmental well-being, vital arts and culture, etc.
