<p>The Association Resource Centre&rsquo;s Not-For-Profit Pulse is a new initiative where we will conduct regular short surveys of non-profit organizations on the topics, trends, issues and benchmarks&nbsp;that matter in today&rsquo;s not-for-profit sector. The purpose of this research is to engage the not-for-profit community in discussion and to provide a resource that will help organizations position themselves in the evolving association landscape. In addition to sharing results with survey participants, this research will be a regular topic of discussion on The ARC Blog.</p>

<p>The Not-for-Profit Pulse is designed to be completed by individuals at the executive, management or board level of not-for-profit organizations.</p>
<p>The more not-for-profit organizations that participate in these periodic mini-surveys, the more accurate and relevant the results will be.&nbsp; <strong>If you would like to be included in future NFP Pulse surveys, please sign up here.&nbsp;</strong><strong>&nbsp;</strong>&nbsp;</p>

<p>By signing up for the NFP Pulse, you&nbsp;can expect to recieve periodic email invitations&nbsp;to future Pulse mini-surveys.&nbsp; The surveys will generally be&nbsp;kept short and should take you approximately 5-7 minutes to complete.&nbsp; Once the information has been compiled and analyzed, you will recieve an email that will direct you to log into a restricted space on this website to access your results.</p>
