Thank you for setting aside time to fill out this survey as we seek to capture a state of the nonprofit sector in 2020. Collecting sector data, sharing nonprofits’ struggles and triumphs, and celebrating the continued impact made by the sector is a priority goal for CNM in the upcoming year. Your feedback is extremely valuable and appreciated by our staff and board members! 

This survey will take approximately 20 minutes. Your responses will help CNM tell the story of 2020, including the challenges, the innovation, the lessons you’re carrying forward to transform your organization. Your answers will be added to our bank of stories collected across CNM’s wide variety of stakeholders: our members, funders, board members, and civic partners. Some stories may be used for external purposes, such as on social media, our website, our newsletter, and more. 

Many questions do not require a response, but please know we would love to hear from you on any and all questions you’re willing to complete. This is not intended to take up a lot of your time. We know you are all busy serving our community. Our top priority is to hear from a diverse range of voices in the nonprofit sector to help us learn from each other. Your responses will serve as a starting point as we craft a larger picture of the nonprofit sector in Middle Tennessee. Short, casual answers are great! 

When is it due? This survey will remain open for the next several months, but the sooner you submit responses, the better! These responses will serve as a starting point for our storytelling campaign, beginning over the next few months.  

How will CNM use the data? Completing the survey and checking the permissions box allows CNM to access and share your responses in everything from our program planning to external marketing materials. This may include social media, newsletters, media, promotions, and more. 
 
Will I be quoted? If an excerpt of your response could be great as a quote, we will reach out to you for approval prior to using it. 

How long should my answers be? We recommend a 150-250 character response, but we welcome all the words you’re willing to give! 

Thank you for your time today, and for all that you do to serve our community through your mission!
