How would you handle the issues raised by each case? Case 13.1a A generous gilt is offered to your organization by a donor whoes company has been accused of unethical business practices. His gift would be recognized through the naming of a major wing on the new building that the gift would help to fund. Although he was not personally accused of legal wrongdoing, members of your governing board express concern that identifying his name with the organization could harm its image and reputation. One board member also raises the possibility that the donor might became involved in questionable business practices in the future and suggests that you negotiate a gift agreement that specifically permits the organization to remove the donor's name from the facility should he ever be criminally indicted or otherwise become an embarassment to the organization. Do you accept the gift? How do you approach the donor about the proposed terms of the gift agreement? Case 13.1b A conor wants to give an art collection to the art gallery at which you are employed.
