Abstract: Abstract A nonprofit charter school focused on providing healthy, affordable meals to its students must decide between competing interests when a local food company offers to make a significant donation in exchange for the opportunity to install unhealthy vending machines on school grounds. School employees clash over the right solution to their financial difficulties in this case that deals with mission drift and conflicts of interest, two common ethical issues faced by nonprofits. Handy and Russell ask readers to step into the shoes of each of the key players and assess the best course of action, given limited time, information, and ethical considerations.
