Ethics Start Here -- THE SHIFTING PERCEPTIONS OF ALLIES AND REGULATORS -- The Public's View -- Regulating and Scrutinizing Charities -- HOW THE QUEST FOR MONEY AFFECTS NONPROFITS -- Philanthropy is Big -- But Does It Have a Purpose? -- The Perils of a Profit-Making Ethos in the Nonprofit World -- PERCEPTIONS AND MONEY: THEIR FRAGILE COMPACT WITH GOOD DEEDS -- Do Some Charities Want Too Much? -- How Long Does the Dead Hand Live? -- When Should Heads Roll? -- THE ETHICAL SECTOR -- Four Concepts: The Backbone of Ethics at Nonprofits -- Inside a Good Charity -- The Voluntary Sector as the Ethical Sector.

Nonprofits have yet to fully form an ethical code by which to operate - even though nonprofits comprise the nation's ethical sector. Today we regularly read of egregious ethical lapses at charities where board members and key staff are unable or unwilling to confront difficult issues. This book describes the challenges facing charities, explains how they must reassess their commitment, and pushes charities to be their best. It also examines how two sectors of society - business and government - would benefit from a similar corrective journey.
