Abstract: Poses ten questions which, if answered affirmatively by a nonprofit's representative, establish an institutional integrity in relation to fundraising that will safeguard, advance, and enhance an organization's purposes and programs as set forth in its mission statement, charter, articles of incorporation, and service mandate as a 501(c)(3) institution. Integrity is based on whether or not: the institution's mission can be stated clearly and honestly, along with a summary of its programs and required resources; the institution refuses to compromise its mission in order to attract a particular gift; fundraisers are aware of the possible effects a changed mission will have on past, present, and potential donors; fundraising materials accurately describe the purpose(s) for which the funds will be used; guidelines have been established to recognize major donors; fundraising costs are accurately reported; the institution accurately reports its charitable gift income; for-profit ventures might be seen as conflicting with a nonprofit mission; the institution has a policy to cover renovation or replacement of facilities originally made possible through commemorative gifts; and policies exist to control acquisition, crediting, recording, recognition and dispersal of charitable gifts.
