Nonprofit organizations face their own set of ethical challenges and must resolve them based on their organizational values.
Read the scenarios bellow and consider options and actions. Consider both immediate and future consequences.
Scenario No. 1: Your organization depends heavily on volunteers for many tasks and projects. One volunteer, an attorney, has performed services previously as a volunteer. This time you receive a bill for the services. When you ask, the attorney says, "Oh, I can't afford to not bill for my time anymore. It's the economy, you know." How would you handle this bill? And would you ask this board member for legal services again?
