Annual Supporter Communication Survey

Frequency, channels, and content: how supporters want to hear from you.

5 questions · 1 page · about 2 minutes to answer · fully editable after you start

Nonprofit communications walk a line: too quiet and supporters forget you, too loud and they unsubscribe. This survey lets supporters set their own line – preferred frequency, channels, and the content they actually want (impact stories versus urgent appeals versus behind-the-scenes) – segmenting your list by consent rather than guesswork.

Honour the answers visibly ("you told us monthly – here is your monthly update") and unsubscribe rates drop while open rates climb. Re-run every two years; preferences drift.
