Help Is On the Way

As I’ve noted before, nonprofits generally are held to a higher ethical standard than their for-profit brethren. Even the appearance of impropriety is enough to cause damage. And so the Panel on the Nonprofit Sector’s release of Principles for Good Governance and Ethical Practice: A Guide for Charities and Foundations, a collection of 33 practices designed to foster “ethical conduct, accountability, and transparency,” is good news. It’s free, so you literally have nothing to lose in checking it out; and once again the nonprofit sector’s tendency to have its members look out for one another comes shining through.
