Nonprofit Surveys: Fundraising, Volunteer Satisfaction & More
Are your fundraisers successful? Are your volunteers happy? Did anyone actually like those homemade biscuits last week? A cheap and easy way to get answers to questions like these is through nonprofit surveys. This can help your organization gain a better understanding of people’s experiences, why people donate and how your events could be improved. Ultimately, surveys can give you the data to improve the effectiveness of your organization and increase the awareness of your cause.
Using a large network of audience members as well as specific targeting options, you can reach the respondents you need to get the best responses to a nonprofit survey:
Write a welcoming introduction.
People want to know that their responses will be contributing to something good. Be sure to include an introduction for your survey telling people what their results will be used for and how you will be using them to improve your organization.
Keep your questions short and sweet.
Clarity is key. Stick to the point and ask questions with specific objectives. This way your target demographic won’t zone out answering loads of unnecessary questions, and you’ll have responses to the questions you need answered. It would also be a good idea to hone in on exactly what you want to find out and who should be answering these questions—are you focussing on those who regularly attend fundraisers, or newbies who you want to attract? Be sure to check out some of Pollfish’s targeting and screening questions to narrow down who your survey will be sent to and see how large your survey audience is.
