• Donors, Volunteers, and Employees: No matter your level of giving or volunteering, or position within an organization, this research is all about YOU. What matters most to you? What makes a good volunteer experience? What do you expect from your organization? Your voice matters! Share your feedback in this short survey, consisting of 10 multiple choice questions.
• Employers: Want to build better trust with your employees – and therefore a better relationship? Research shows that you have a big opportunity to do so. This survey can help. Distribute the survey to your employees and use this as your employee listening exercise. Upon request we can provide you with a unique survey URL, so you will have your organization’s full dataset to benchmark against the larger field’s response.
