Code of Ethics
Ethical fundraising is of paramount importance to AFP and its members. The organization´s guiding principles are laid out in the AFP Code of Ethics and the Donor Bill of Rights, and all members agree to uphold these practices. This dedication to ethical practices is what forges the trust between non-profits and their supporters. Take a moment to read or re-read the documents, and reflect on this important commitment.
