So-called tainted donations have become a very real problem for many charities and organizations: when is it wrong to accept a donation because of how the money was made? What if the money was made in the distant past, when different ethical values prevailed? And if a donor uses their money to whitewash a dubious reputation, is that just something they should accept as a small price to pay for the greater good?

In this final conversation with Rhodri Davies, author of What is Philanthropy for?, he explores these and other moral dilemmas that beset the philanthropic landscape of the 21st century.
