Zambian Diaspora Philanthropy Survey

The Zambian Governance Foundation (ZGF), an organization that provides grants, supports capacity development and promotes local philanthropy in Zambia http://www.zgf.org.zm/ is carrying out a survey to better understand the various ways Zambians in the diaspora have been supporting or can support philanthropy activities in Zambia. The survey will give insights into key giving trends including information on priority causes, donation sizes and motivations for giving. The survey also presents an opportunity to ask some important questions that will help our organization and the Zambian diaspora to work more effectively in supporting philanthropic causes in the future. The survey is open to Zambians currently living abroad.

Your responses will help us better understand your priorities when it comes to charitable giving. The survey takes a maximum of 5 minutes to complete.
