Ethics and Social Responsibility

Ethics and social responsibility in nonprofit management refer to the principles guiding organizations in making decisions that positively impact society. Ethics involves acting with integrity and fairness, ensuring transparency and accountability in operations. Social responsibility means recognizing the organization’s role in promoting community welfare and addressing social issues. Nonprofits are expected to align their missions with the public good, uphold ethical standards, and engage stakeholders in meaningful ways. Together, these concepts ensure that nonprofits operate not just for profit, but to improve lives and contribute to a better society.
