Abstract

There is a paradox in the way that justice-seeking nonprofit organizations pursue their goals. This project seeks to define a notion of tight spaces that occurs when a nonprofit organization uses manipulative marketing methods to achieve their ends via a Kantian perspective.

The research is two-fold. This project will use normative political theory to illustrate ethical considerations surrounding nonprofits coupled with extensive content analysis on nonprofit organization’s marketing materials to illustrate coercive methodologies used. This research wants to address this paradox by asking a simple question, From a Kantian ethical perspective, should nonprofit organizations, many which seek justice-oriented outcomes, use manipulative marketing communication methods that are unjust to meet their justice-oriented ends?
