This book outlines the various elements involved in ethical
decision-making for nonprofit leaders, and whose rights to
prioritize when facing complex situations. Nonprofit board members
and employees are often placed in difficult situations, with no
single stakeholder and an allegiance to mission statements whose
outcomes can be difficult to measure. While nonprofit charitable
organizations are generally considered more trustworthy than their
counterparts in the public or for-profit sector, when scandals and
wrongdoings are uncovered, they must be dealt with in ethical ways.
Through a case study approach, this book delivers clear ethical
decision-making frameworks and promotes robust reflection on how to
arrive at different decision points and throw light on elements
that are often ignored or assumed. Ultimately, it offers students,
researchers, and managers a practical approach to the ambiguous
question, what is the ethical way?
The Palgrave Handbook of Global Philanthropy is a comprehensive
reference guide to the practice of philanthropy across twenty-six
nations and regions. In addition, thematic chapters examine
cross-national issues to provide an indispensable guide to the
latest research in this field. Drawing on theoretical insights from
sociology, economics, political science, and psychology, and
including a stellar international line-up of leading philanthropy
scholars, this essential reference work describes the non-profit
sector and analyzes philanthropic endeavours country by country,
providing a global overview that covers Asia, Europe, the Middle
East, Australia and the Americas. In addition, thematic chapters
examine cross-national issues, including the social origins of the
non-profit sector and charitable giving; the influence of
government support; the role of religion; fiscal incentives; and
fundraising to outline how major country-specific differences in
governmental, economic, and legal policies for philanthropic actors
and nonprofit organizations shape philanthropic giving,
demonstrating how country-specific factors may facilitate or
inhibit charitable giving. Nonprofit organizations provide
important public goods and services in societies across the world.
In times of economic crisis, when governments are forced to
decrease public spending, these organizations become even more
important in meeting demands for these goods and services. But what
motivates individuals to voluntarily give away portions of their
own financial resources to benefit the public good and to enable
nonprofit organizations to carry out their work? Why do people in
one country give more frequently and more generously to nonprofit
organizations than those in another? The Palgrave Handbook of
Global Philanthropy provides an indispensable guide to the latest
research in philanthropy, the non-profit sector and charitable
giving.
