Mission-driven organisations

Organisations charged with reaching communities and/or providing services may appear to have different metrics for success than for-profit organisations, yet financial solvency is equally important. Ensuring that decision-makers use funds effectively and prudently while meeting the organisation's stated goals is key.

Ethical decision-making that assists with clarity and consistency can help with responsible resource allocation, meaning there are more funds available to reach the organisation's community. 

Definitions of success and ethical outcomes can be discussed and reviewed. The three methods of ethical analysis - foundational, principled, and case-based, each with their pros and cons, can be assessed for a best fit for the organisation.
