Organizational hard lines are the ethical boundaries that an organization abides by in its daily work internally and in interacting with the community. Knowing your organizational hard lines is especially important given the current political turmoil we are experiencing in the nonprofit sector and across the country. 

In our work with organizations, we rely upon ethical frameworks to help guide the conversations around organizational hard lines and navigate difficult tensions while maintaining personal and organizational values. Each framework offers different perspectives and tools for making principled decisions under challenging circumstances.

We offer a facilitated session for individual organizations to build shared understanding and practice when it comes to organizational hard lines.

In this facilitated session, we will: 

• Explore three ethical frameworks (ethics of care, soildarity ethics, and ethics of resistance) and apply these to your specific organization 

• Pose questions to help your organization identify its hard lines through a variety of different scenarios

• Identify policies and practices that require updating within your organization
