Ethics in Nonprofit Organizations

Trust is one of the most valuable things a nonprofit can earn, and one of the easiest things to lose. Donors give because they believe in the mission. Volunteers donate their time because they believe they'll make a difference. Communities support organizations because they believe they'll act responsibly. This micro-course introduces the ethical principles you'll encounter when working with nonprofit organizations. You'll learn why transparency matters, how to handle confidential information responsibly, and what professional conduct looks like in a nonprofit environment.
