MAP for Nonprofits' Team Values
(Also see Ethics: Practical Toolkit for Business).
This document serves as an example of a code of ethics. As well as having corporate codes, codes can be geared for specific purposes and be focused on various relationships. The following code is geared to support the working relationships among staff at MAP for Nonprofits.
These team values guide how we MAP staff members interact with each other in our workplace. The integrity of these values rests on how consistently we apply them. We regularly review and update these values to reflect current priorities in our workplace.
