Welcome to the National Donor Survey on the impact of the economic downturn on philanthropy. Thank you for adding your voice to those of thousands of Americans who give to charitable organizations. The information you provide will help not-for-profits manage their operations effectively in these tough times. It is also an opportunity for organizations to learn more about how they can serve you, their donors, better.

This survey has been designed by Cygnus Applied Research, Inc. who is covering the full cost of the project and providing the results at no charge to sixty not for profit organizations, one of whom made the request to you to participate in this research study.

This survey is anonymous in order to protect your privacy. It will take approximately 10 minutes to complete it. We will make the results available to all participants and, at the end of this questionnaire, you will find information on how you can get a copy.
