SUMMARY:Not-for-Profit Survey
DESCRIPTION:For those of you who work in the Long Island nonprofit sec
 tor, you know that the last 12 months have been extremely difficult. W
 hile the stock market has shown some signs of improvement, the economy
  continues to lag, resulting in increased demand and decreased funding
  for the nonprofit sector. In addition, with New York State’s budget
  woes and cash flow issues, nonprofits have had a difficult time makin
 g ends meet. The not-for-profit sector, which plays such an important 
 role in almost every aspect of our lives, is in a very precarious plac
 e. Over the last year, the economy has taken down many organizations, 
 and it is expected that many more will go the way of merger or dissolu
 tion.\n\nIn these difficult times, not-for-profit organizations need t
 o continue to collaborate and share information so that organizations 
 can make better and more informed decisions. This will help nonprofits
  in their long-term stability and help them to better establish and op
 erate the programs that are so vital to the more than 3 million people
  that call Long Island home, and help advocate for the needs of their 
 agencies and the sector as a whole.\n\nThe 2010 survey introduces many
  new questions focused on the financial health of the nonprofit sector
  to go along with many similar questions from past surveys to provide 
 trends for the sector. We encourage agencies to take the time to compl
 ete the survey, as your voice will make the survey and its results muc
 h more meaningful. Last year the survey netted the lowest level of res
 ponses in its six-year history. This year, we are looking to significa
 ntly increase the number of survey respondents to continue to elevate 
 the significance of the survey results. To maximize the consistency an
 d effectiveness of the survey results, we suggest that you have your a
 gency’s CEO/Executive Director complete or review the survey prior t
 o submission.\n\nSurvey responses are due by Friday, September 17, 201
 0, with the final results to be tabulated and distributed in time for 
 Philanthropy Day on November 19, 2010. Please take 20 minutes or so to
  complete the survey. Help us and our partners create a valuable bench
 mark that can assist you to effectively run your organization.\n\nIf y
 ou have any suggestions or ideas on how we can make this or next yearâ
 €™s survey more meaningful, please provide us with your input.\n\nFor
