What is your final decision? (As a team, examine the situation through the lens of each of the principles of ethical decision making; then make a decision.)

In the world of charitable organizations, the most grueling activity must certainly be fund-raising. Although soliciting donations for popular causes can be easy, lesser known nonprofits, which do very important work, may have difficulty consistently raising enough money to function. Sometimes, corporate sponsorship is necessary to obtain adequate funding. The obvious plus to corporate sponsorship is the cash, and perhaps greater visibility and legitimacy in the community (depending, of course, on the reputation of the sponsor). But corporate sponsorship can also have drawbacks. Potential donors may think that the charity no longer needs additional funding or withdraw support because they perceive that the charity has “sold out” to corporate financial inducements.
