CSU's
Center for Nonprofit Policy & Practice
Cleveland State University’s Center for Nonprofit Policy & Practice is
conducting a study on the impact the recession has had on the nonprofit
sector in Ohio.
The goal of this study is to generate a clear picture of the economic health
of Ohio’s nonprofit organizations, and it is essential that the arts and
culture sector be represented. To make sure this happens, we ask that you
please fill out the online survey (link below) on behalf of your
organization and pass it along to your nonprofit colleagues in Ohio as well.
The
survey must be completed by someone with a clear understanding of the
financial decision-making process in your organization. It should only take
about 10 minutes. All survey responses are confidential and no individual
organizational data will be released.
