eTapestry is proud to be a member of the Giving Institute.

The Giving Institute, formerly the American Association of Fundraising Counsel (AAFRC) sought to enhance the professionalism of a field that was disorganized and sometimes misunderstood and mistrusted. Their first act was to develop a fair practice code. The code, known today as the Standards of Practice and Professional Code of Ethics, is widely accepted as a model for professional ethics in the field.

The mission of the Giving Institute is to educate and engage members in the ethical delivery of counsel and related services to non-profits through research, advocacy, and best practices.
