report their actions to higher authorities (IRS)

2) the specific reporting mechanisms they are instructed to use (990)


3) the formal standard to which they are held

✓ ~~>1) Broadens the set of higher authorities to whom individuals and

organizations are potentially responsible (donors & recipients)

2) Broadens the criteria expectations and standards to which individuals and

organizations may be potentially held (not ethical to visit donors in a hospital)




Broad Accountability is:


✓ ~~>1) Serving the public good

2) Preserving the public trust


3) Often implicit and subjective




Broad Accountability & the public trust


✓ ~~>is being able to account for the organization's implied promised to

is constituents by pursuing its stated mission in good faith with

defensible and transparent management and governance practices.

Entrepreneurial Models


✓ ~~>1) NPOs have adopted entrepreneurial models sometimes forming

for profit subsidiaries to earn income that is used to support the NPO

2) NPOs earn income in different ways & compensate staff on a commission

basis based on marketing and business income




Fundraisers challenge:


✓ ~~>Commission is ethical for market based income but is unethical

based on philanthropic funds raised. (bonus is ok on # donors or on

cumulative revenue but not on an individual basis).




Donor behaviors


✓ ~~>1) are different from each other and from the previous generation

2) are interested in pursuing very distinctive projects


3) accumulated wealth quickly in the 1990s are interested in pursuing

philanthropy at a younger age


4) have developed a venture philanthropy approach (projects)

challenging)
