Fundraising dilemmas make for hard decisions
This dilemma deals with a situation in Tallahassee, Florida that had a donor who wanted to donate more than a quarter of a million dollars to a nonprofit organization. The problem is that the donor didn't agree with the management of the organization. The issue is how far will the organization go for the money. If the organization absolutely needs the money to stay open and active, are they willing to change everything in order to accept the money?
My thoughts ...
If I was in this dilemma & I was in the position of the president of the organization, I would try and work out an agreement with what changes the donor would like to see compared to what the organization stands for. The money is a large amount and it could help many people but changing everything the organization has done in the past to get it where it is now is something I'm not sure I'd be willing to change.
