Business Giving Survey 2015

The Business Giving Roundtable and local Chambers of Commerce are co-sponsoring this survey to highlight local business contributions to community. This is your opportunity for business leaders to share philanthropic trends in Santa Barbara County. Many communities are unaware of the depth of investment and volunteer service contributed each year by local businesses and employees. Nationally less than 5% of annual philanthropic giving comes from corporate sources. Our Santa Barbara County community is likely more extraordinary. Please complete this survey and help us increase awareness of the true commitment of our local businesses.

Anonymous results of this survey will be shared jointly by the Business Giving Roundtable, Carpinteria Valley Chamber of Commerce, Goleta Valley Chamber of Commerce and Santa Barbara Region Chamber of Commerce. Thank you for your participation.
