Abstract: Abstract The CEO of a local community foundation seeks to reconcile her personal views with a new funding initiative in the community. This case asks readers to consider the extent to which personal views should impact professional decisions and how to navigate the difficulties that arise when nonprofit employees must balance the dual roles of advocate and analyst. Do nonprofits have an obligation to support underserved groups in their communities, even if it means ruffling the feathers of other stakeholders? In this case, Handy and Russell encourage readers to contemplate the inherent moral positioning of nonprofits in their communities and the obligations of nonprofit leaders to maintain this position.
