Chapter Chapter 3 in Ethics for Social Impact, 2018, pp 45-62 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract So far, we have talked about recent nonprofit scandals and considered why ethics should be an important part of decision-making in the nonprofit sector. You may be convinced that ethics belongs in every profession and especially even in a sector that relies so much on the trust of the public and its stakeholders. But given the complexities of nonprofits—their multiple stakeholders, multiple bottom lines, and sometimes intangible social missions—how can we begin to approach, understand, and apply ethical decision-making in this context?
