The Stigma of Whistleblowing Within NonProfits

Nonprofits are not immune to corruption or bullies. They are like any other workplace. However, for the whistleblower who joins such a team, there can be an even more complicated path to disclosing wrongdoing because of the risk to the entire mission. There is a commitment to the goals and objectives of the organization. Its beneficiaries rely upon the services provided and if the whistleblowing causes the mission to be impacted, the whistleblower can suffer even greater consequences of guilt and moral injury when problems are not fixed.
