Nonprofit Organizational Practices Survey Project

Nonprofit organizations of all types make an increasingly important contribution to the economic, political, social, and cultural development of the State of Arizona, yet our knowledge of these organizations is still limited. We are conducting a survey research project to understand better the mission, programs, governance, constituent relations, and performance of Arizona nonprofits.

The survey is currently underway! If you have received a letter inviting your participation but need another copy of the survey, please click on the link below to download a PDF version of the survey. Thank you for sharing information about your organization! Your participation will allow us to document the critical role Arizona nonprofits play in communities across the state.

We ask that the survey be filled out by the highest level staff member (e.g., Executive Director). Your participation is voluntary. Returning the survey indicates your consent to participate. All replies will be kept strictly confidential and will not be seen by anyone other than the researchers; in no case will any organization or survey respondent be identified by name. The survey should take you about 15-20 minutes to complete.

The survey is co-sponsored by the ASU Lodestar Center, a nationally recognized leader for the study of nonprofit organizations, and the Nonprofit Academic Centers Council. The results of the study will be shared with you and other nonprofit leaders through the website of the Center (http://nonprofit.asu.edu).

We appreciate your leadership in the nonprofit community and hope you will agree to participate.
