The Dirty Money Dilemma

Written By Maria

Nonprofits tend to dedicate themselves to addressing the symptoms of a systemic issue. Navigating dirty money (problems with how money was created) and tainted donors (problems with who is giving money) while balancing fundraising priorities put nonprofits in an ethically complicated spot.

So how can nonprofits understand their role in the systemic problems and approach their fundraising in the least harmful way? How can we effect positive systemic change?

Watch this video to see how I have approached it.

In the video, you will learn about the Dirty Money Dilemma, Community-Centric Fundraising, and how you can navigate the challenges of fundraising in an unideal world.
