About the Article
Ethical communication is a cornerstone of organizational credibility and trust, particularly for non-profits operating in diverse socio-economic and cultural contexts. This Teaching Paper introduces a structured Ethical Communication Plan Template that helps organizations design transparent, respectful, and accountable communication practices. The template includes components such as purpose, objectives, values, communication channels, training, monitoring, evaluation, and conflict resolution mechanisms. A practical guide and case study illustrate how the framework can be applied in real-world non-profit settings. By combining theoretical insights from Bryson, Drucker, and Patton with practical tools, the Teaching Paper provides a bridge between academic theory and organizational practice, offering non-profits a concrete framework to strengthen trust, accountability, and sustainability.
