2027-2029 ABCD Community Needs Survey

Dear Community Member:

Thank you for agreeing to complete this community survey for Action for Boston Community Development (ABCD) and helping in our three year strategic planning initative.

Your responses are very valuable – and will be kept totally anonymous! Please answer each question the best you can, if you have any questions feel free to ask a staff member for assistance.

As part of our planning process, we want to identify the current needs of the community as a whole to better understand what programs and services could be provided to strengthen the community. Your answers to this survey will help guide ABCD’s efforts over the next three years in your communities.

If you have any questions about the Strategic Planning process or are interested in providing additional feedback please contact any of the members of ABCD’s Planning and Grants Department at survey@bostonabcd.org.

Thank you!
