Ethical Code of Fundraising

It's been a while since I posted something about the Ethical Code of Fundraising.  Attached to this blog post is a copy of Imagine Canada's Code and click here for how this information pertains to donors.

To date there are 180 organizations in Canada that subscribe to the code.  Have the organizations that you support adopted this code or something like it?

There are over 161,000 non-profits and charities in Canada with less than 1% of them formerly adopting Imagine Canada's code what does this say about the sector?  Or perhaps, what does it say about the role that Imagine Canada can play in strenthening the sector?  Should adopting the code be linked to the two year participation fee?  What role can donors play in encouraging their recipient organizations to adopt this code?  How can we encourage organizations to promote other similar ethical standards?
