Online Virtual Event

Event Details

Hundreds of online fundraising platforms collect donations for nonprofits every day — often without the nonprofit's knowledge or consent. Hidden fees, inaccurate organizational information, withheld funds, and aggressive SEO tactics are eroding donor trust and cutting into the resources nonprofits depend on.

In response, the National Council of Nonprofits and 52 state and regional associations representing nearly 40,000 nonprofits, have published principles for ethical online fundraising platforms.

Join us for this webinar to learn:

  • What unethical platform practices look like and how they harm nonprofits and donors
  • The four principles for ethical online fundraising platforms and what they mean for your organization
  • How to take action, endorse the principles, and urge platforms to operate responsibly 

Whether you've encountered these issues firsthand or want to get ahead of them, this session will equip you with the knowledge and tools to protect your organization's mission, brand, and donor relationships. 

Hosted by NAM Partner, National Council of Nonprofits
