Question:
When it comes to the use of public funding, ethics count. Consider the ethical issues that arose for the Red Cross in 2002 after millions of dollars in public donations and funds were received in response to the request to help support victims and those affected by the 9/11 terrorist attacks. According to CBS Evening News:
News of this ethical breach caused a public outcry. Although these ethical funding issues were limited to the Red Cross, the entire nonprofit community felt the repercussions. Public donations dropped off sharply and the Red Cross had to convince the public that funds donated would be appropriately used in the future. In public agencies, similar ethical breaches may occur and, in turn, impact future budget funding requests.
