Organizations reflect their values through ethical codes of conduct, outlining the behaviors expected from stakeholders, the organization, and expectations held by the community towards the organization, known respectively as first, second, and third generation language. However, it was not known how international nonprofit organizations based in the United States exhibited levels of generational language within their codes of ethics. The purpose of this qualitative study was to understand how international nonprofit organizations based in the United States exhibited levels of generational language within their codes of ethics. Stakeholder theory and generation theory of human rights guided the investigation. Stakeholder theory affirms stakeholder saliency while generation theory of human rights affirms the level of language supported by the organization. The sample included 30 organizations based in the U.S. and acting globally as listed in Forbes "The 200 Largest U.S. Charities". Codes of ethics; these were analyzed using thematic coding, text-based portraits, and key-words-in-context. Findings indicated international nonprofit nongovernmental organizations exhibited all three levels of generational language with ethical codes. Implications of findings showed that nonprofit organizations may exhibit higher levels of social responsibility within ethical codes and act as a model for balance between upward accountability towards donors and public trust with downward accountability towards internal and external stakeholders. This study informs the conceptual frameworks by identifying stakeholder saliency through levels of language supported by the organization.
