The Association Resource Centre’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 that matter in today’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.

Interested in Participating in Future NFP Pulse Surveys?

The Not-for-Profit Pulse is designed to be completed by individuals at the executive, management or board level of not-for-profit organizations.

The more not-for-profit organizations that participate in these periodic mini-surveys, the more accurate and relevant the results will be.  If you would like to be included in future NFP Pulse surveys, please sign up here.   

For 2010, we intend to publish the NFP Pulse every 2-3 months.  Participants will be provided with a free participant report for the survey.  Please also feel free to email this link to any other not-for-profit organization you think may benefit from ARC’s research.

By signing up for the NFP Pulse, you can expect to recieve periodic email invitations to future Pulse mini-surveys.  The surveys will generally be kept short and should take you approximately 5-7 minutes to complete.  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.

If you no longer wish to recieve email from us, simply let us know and we will remove you from our list.

Your contact information will be kept confidential and will not be distributed to any third party without your consent.  Futhermore, any information you provide in the surveys will also be kept confidential and any reporting we do will be in aggregate form.

Help Us to Provide you With Information That Matters to You 

We welcome any feedback you have on how we can make the NFP Pulse more relevant to your needs. If you have ideas about future research topics, we'd love to hear them.  You can provide your ideas in the annonymous NFP Pulse Suggestions Box.

Thanks for your participation - we look forward to providing you with information and analysis that is relevant, useful and that helps your organization achieve its full potential!

Sincerely,

The ARC Team
