Scenario

When community organizations face ethical dilemmas about funding sources

Our community center board is trying to decide whether to accept a large donation from a corporation that some of us see as harmful to our neighborhood, and the discussion keeps getting shut down because people say we can't afford to be 'picky' about money. I feel like we're being forced to choose between our principles and our survival as an organization, and that choice itself feels wrong.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group is being forced to choose between financial necessity and moral consistency, but the framework of that choice itself may be obscuring other possibilities.
