Non-profits are essential in making the world go round. This is because they help people in the community who without their help would be lost. Some non-profits are more successful than others and some programs are more beneficial to the community at large. How can non-profits then who are not as successful improve their skills so they can better help the community? A survey was done to answer this very question.
Blackbaud is a company that for the past six years has conducted surveys across North America on the non-profit Industry. The survey asks questions regarding general operations, fundraisings, and technology in non-profits. The main purpose is to see nonprofits managerial strategizes and what changes they anticipate for next year. The survey is very helpful to non- profits in that it provides them with reports on how other non-profits are run, in order to compare their company with others.
Non-profits from Canada and the U.S were asked to participate in the survey online during the month of June and July. A total of two hundred and forty five individuals completed the survey. The results thus provide a basis for analyzing how non-profits are run. The results however may not be projected onto the entire non-profit community as a whole in North America.
The survey allowed Blackbaud to reach a substantial amount of people for a relatively low cost and gain fast responses. The survey itself was useful to the non-profit community in determining what they need to improve, how to improve and how they fair compared to other non-profits.
