Transparency: Organizations should be open about their financial situations, including their incomes, expenditures, and use of donations. They should also provide regular, clear reports on their activities and accomplishments.

Respect for Donor Intent: Donations should be used for the purposes for which they were given. If a donor specifies that their donation is to be used for a particular project or purpose, it is ethically crucial to honor this intent.

Confidentiality: Personal information about donors and prospective donors must be handled with respect and confidentiality to the extent provided by law.

Fairness: Fundraisers should strive to be fair in all their dealings. This means avoiding discrimination, respecting diversity, and promoting inclusivity in fundraising activities.

Professionalism: Fundraisers should uphold the integrity of their profession, behaving in a way that brings credit to their organization and the fundraising profession as a whole.

Accountability: Fundraisers should be accountable for their actions and decisions. This includes taking responsibility for mistakes, learning from them, and taking action to rectify them.

Relationship Building: Fundraisers should aim to build long-term relationships with donors based on mutual respect and shared goals, rather than focusing solely on short-term financial gain.

Recognition: Fundraisers should appropriately acknowledge contributions from donors, showing gratitude and recognizing the impact of their generosity. This not only affirms the value of the donation but also builds a foundation for future giving.
