Praise for Ethical Fundraising

"What a timely publication! Here are the luminaries in the field of ethics in fundraising, a topic that all professional fundraisers must engage with in order to build the trust and confidence of the giving public."
—Dr. Sue-Anne Wallace, FAICD, MFIA, CEO, Fundraising Institute Australia, International Observer, AFP's Ethics Committee

"Ethical Fundraising is an invaluable collection of essays based on the rich experience of philanthropic leaders. The book is full of cases, anecdotes, codes, and other hands-on material as well as wise reflections on the central role of ethics in fundraising."
—Michael O'Neill, Professor of Nonprofit Management, University of San Francisco

"A new book on ethics is decidedly welcome. As professionals, we can't ignore the increasing issues and pressures around us when it comes to ethical practice, and this book will not only add to our store of knowledge but will once again spur us to examine our own decisions and behaviors while we promote ethics in the organizations we serve."
—Dr. Lilya Wagner, CFRE, Faculty, The Fund Raising School

"The case studies alone make this book a valuable contribution to the work of fund-raisers and nonprofit board members. The authors' applications of ethics codes and standards to the case studies offer a bonus. Part Two of the book puts on the table a few of the most vexing challenges the nonprofit sector faces—superb."
—Timothy L. Seiler, Director, Public Service and The Fund Raising School, The Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University
