Ethical Requirements of Donors 

ASHE encourages gifts in support of its mission as a not-for-profit association. 

ASHE’s gift acceptance policy are set to protect: 

• The best interests of the donor; 

• The welfare of ASHE; and 

• The ASHE employees, board of directors, and volunteers charged with the management of the gift-planning program 

Donors are encouraged to consult with their own personal advisors (accountants, certified estate or financial planners, attorneys, investment brokers, etc.) prior to making any gift to ASHE. 

ASHE reserves the right not to accept certain gifts, including those from which ASHE will realize little or no financial gain, or which are made for purposes that are inconsistent with ASHE’s mission, or which have restrictions that violate ASHE’s ethical standards or require illegal discrimination, or which are not otherwise in ASHE’s best interests. 

Donors are responsible for understanding and upholding the ASHE Ethics Policies. The ASHE Ethics Policies are available at www.ashe.ws/ethics-policies. 

ASHE considers the effect on the field of the totality of the individual’s work and professional and ethical conduct and reputation. ASHE will bestow the privilege of a named grant, scholarship, award, or other honor to those who embody highly professional and ethical conduct in their work as well as conduct in their personal affairs that does not cast serious doubt on their core ethics. 

Unethical conduct includes, among other acts, sexual harassment and discrimination based on other factors unrelated to ability and promise (e.g., race, ethnicity, sexual identity or orientation), whether alone or intersecting with sexual harassment. These acts perpetuate longstanding structural and systemic barriers to full participation of all talent in the field, which have immediate adverse impact on individuals and undermine excellence in the field. Additionally, unethical conduct includes violations of research ethics, including but not limited to, plagiarism, financial misconduct, and violations of human subject protections. Such unprofessional and unethical conduct may occur in research, learning/teaching, or practice. 

In accordance with the ASHE Ethics Policies approved by the Board of Directors in 2021, the Association requires ethical disclosures for those who receive honors of the Association, including named grants, scholarships, awards, and other honors.
