Impact Alamance and United Way are requesting that you complete a short survey to help us determine the growth, successes and challenges of our local nonprofits. The goal of this survey is to assess the strength, sustainability, community engagement and quality of services that nonprofits provide to the Alamance Community. These questions should be used to better understand the current nonprofit climate in the county, identify strengths and weaknesses in our nonprofit system, and illuminate ways in which we as funders can strengthen the capacity of the organizations with whom we work. This survey is confidential.
