CODE OF ETHICAL PRINCIPLES AND
STANDARDS OF PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE
Code of Ethical Principles
Adopted 1964; amended October 2004.
The Association of Fundraising Professionals
(AFP) exists to foster the development and growth of fundraising professionals
and the profession, to promote high ethical standards in the fundraising
profession and to preserve and enhance philanthropy and volunteerism.
Members of AFP are motivated by an inner drive to
improve the quality of life through the causes they serve. They serve the ideal
of philanthropy; are committed to the preservation and enhancement of
volunteerism; and hold stewardship of these concepts as the overriding principle
of their professional life. They recognize their responsibility to ensure that
needed resources are vigorously and ethically sought and that the intent of the
donor is honestly fulfilled. To these ends, AFP members embrace certain values
that they strive to uphold in performing their responsibilities for generating
philanthropic support.
AFP members aspire to:
- practice their profession with integrity,
honesty, truthfulness and adherence to the absolute obligation to safeguard
the public trust;
- act according to the highest standards and
visions of their organization, profession and conscience;
- put philanthropic mission above personal
gain;
- inspire others through their own sense of
dedication and high purpose;
- improve their professional knowledge and
skills, so that their performance will better serve others;
- demonstrate concern for the interests and
well being of individuals affected by their actions;
- value the privacy, freedom of choice and
interests of all those affected by their actions;
- foster cultural diversity and pluralistic
values, and treat all people with dignity and respect;
- affirm, through personal giving, a
commitment to philanthropy and its role in society;
- adhere to the spirit as well as the letter
of all applicable laws and regulations;
- advocate within their organizations,
adherence to all applicable laws and regulations;
- avoid even the appearance of any criminal
offense or professional misconduct;
- bring credit to the fundraising profession
by their public demeanor;
- encourage colleagues to embrace and practice
these ethical principles and standards of professional practice; and
- be aware of the codes of ethics promulgated
by other professional organizations that serve philanthropy.
Standards of Professional Practice
Furthermore, while striving to act according to
the above values, AFP members agree to abide by the AFP Standards of
Professional Practice, which are adopted and incorporated into the AFP Code of
Ethical Principles. Violation of the Standard may subject the member to
disciplinary sanctions, including expulsion, as provided in the AFP Ethics
Enforcement Procedures.
Professional obligations
- Members shall not engage in activities that harm the member’s
organization, clients, or profession.
- Members shall not engage in activities that conflict with their
fiduciary, ethical and legal obligations to their organizations and their
clients.
- Members shall effectively disclose all potential and actual conflicts of
interest; such disclosure does not preclude or imply ethical impropriety.
- Members shall not exploit any relationship with a donor, prospect,
volunteer or employee for the benefit of the member or the member’s
organization.
- Members shall comply with all applicable local, state, provincial,
federal, civil and criminal laws.
- Members recognize their individual boundaries of competence and are
forthcoming and truthful about their professional experience and
qualifications.
Solicitation and Use of Philanthropic Funds
- Members shall take care to ensure that all solicitation materials are
accurate and correctly reflect the organization’s mission and use of
solicited funds.
- Members shall take care to ensure that donors receive informed, accurate
and ethical advice about the value and tax implications of contributions.
- Members shall take care to ensure that contributions are used in
accordance with donors’ intentions.
- Members shall take care to ensure proper stewardship of philanthropic
contributions, including timely reports on the use and management of such
funds.
- Members shall obtain explicit consent by the donor before altering the
conditions of contributions.
Presentation of information
- Members shall not disclose privileged or confidential information to
unauthorized parties.
- Members shall adhere to the principle that all donor and prospect
information created by, or on behalf of, an organization is the property of
that organization and shall not be transferred or utilized except on behalf
of that organization.
- Members shall give donors the opportunity to have their names removed
from lists that are sold to, rented to, or exchanged with other
organizations.
- Members shall, when stating fundraising results, use accurate and
consistent accounting methods that conform to the appropriate guidelines
adopted by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA)*
for the type of organization involved. (* In countries outside of the United
States, comparable authority should be utilized.)
Compensation
- Members shall not accept compensation that is based on a percentage of
contributions; nor shall they accept finder’s fees.
- Members may accept performance-based compensation, such as bonuses,
provided such bonuses are in accord with prevailing practices within the
members’ own organizations, and are not based on a percentage of
contributions.
- Members shall not pay finder’s fees, or commissions or percentage
compensation based on contributions, and shall take care to discourage their
organizations from making such payments.
