Forced Giving

But at what cost? Do we really want to force people to give? Do we really want to have philanthropy viewed as punishment?

Nonprofit organizations have enough working against them without being stigmatized as something the public might be required to support as part of a sentence for a crime committed. Forced philanthropy flies in the face of the growing tide in nonprofit fundraising that recognizes donors as vital partners who give because it’s empowering, important, and one way to make their voices heard and support the causes that touch them deeply.
