If you’re a fundraiser, if you have a supervisor, if you are working with donors or board members or any people who have power, sooner or later you’ll run into situations that challenge your values. It’s inevitable. Where there is money, where there are people and where there are passions for a cause, inevitably challenges arise that have you scratching your head, or seeking cover. What do you do? When it happens, and it will happen, we are stymied. Sometimes shocked. Frozen in our tracks. Compromised!

Most ethical issues in fundraising, while surprising us or catching us off guard, are often predictable. Those who handle these kinds of situations the best are those who have taken the time to consider how they might act or react. And the consideration is best BEFORE the situations arise.

We invite you to take the time to consider how you might act or react in difficult, embarrassing and compromising fundraising situations BEFORE they happen to you or BEFORE the next time they happen to you.

Join Melissa, Demian and Tony as they present in a safe environment two incredibly challenging situations fundraisers face on a daily. They will walk and talk you through how to handle some of the most difficult situations you may ever face as a fundraising professional.
