Resource Development is a very important area that any organization must master in order to effectively manifest its goals and objectives. The following information comes from the Code Of Ethical Principles And Standards from the Association of Fundraising Professionals. This information is being shared because Wisdom Born Consulting understands the importance of financial transparency as being fundamental to any organization’s ability to fulfill its mission, vision and goals. No organization can be effective in its work and gain the trust of those they serve and support if it is not adhering to the most ethical of practices and standards. Even if you are not a member of the Association of Fundraising Professionals, the goal is for resource development professionals being aware of the existing ethical principles and practices that do guide art and work of fundraising, whether it’s done through direct solicitation of donations or by submitting grant proposals to potential corporate, foundation and governement donors.
