The Conversation on Fundraiser Sexual Harassment
Today, I published a piece with The Conversation titled “3 in 4 fundraisers have experienced sexual harassment on the job – often because of inappropriate behavior from donors“. It shares the results of research in Journal of Public Administrative Research & Theory, Nonprofit & Voluntary Sector Quarterly, and from the report we recently released with the Association of Fundraising Professionals. I hope this article raises awareness of the issue that fundraisers are facing.
“We are nonprofit scholars who have been researching sexual harassment in fundraising for several years. We’ve found that about 76% of fundraisers report experiencing some form of work-based sexual harassment in their careers.”
