We've partne...red with The Portage Group on a new COVID-19 Pulse Survey that is open to all nonprofit organizations, including charities, foundations, associations, and other nonprofits. The survey is focused on pandemic-related challenges in the area of staff and volunteers and should take 6-8 minutes to complete. There is no cost to participate in the survey and the findings will be shared broadly with the sector when they are published. You will have the option in the survey to request that we send you the reports once they are published.
