Ethics

Upholding a code of ethics is admirable, but having the influence and drive to enforce it is what leads to noticeable progress within our communities and the entire sector. AFP is proud to offer the only enforceable code of ethics in fundraising and to provide our members access to tools and resources for informing and enforcing ethical guidelines.
