This position paper provides guidance for how physicians should approach fundraising with grateful patients. The paper covers ethical issues and outlines practical management strategies that ensure the patient–provider relationship is respected and preserved at all times. Physician solicitation of charitable contributions from patients—also known among other things as grateful patient fundraising—raises significant ethical concerns. These include pressure on patients to donate and the effects of this on the patient–physician relationship, potential expectations of donor patients for treatment that is not indicated or preferential care, justice and fairness issues, disclosure and use of confidential patient information for nontreatment purposes, and conflicts of interest. The patient–physician relationship and knowledge of the patient's medical history, clinical status, personal information, and financial circumstances are some of the reasons development and administrative officials might see physicians as strong potential fundraisers. But those are among the reasons grateful patient fundraising is ethically problematic. This American College of Physicians position paper explores these issues and offers guidance.
