Supporting Nonprofit Capacity: A Survey

The Helen Bader Institute (HBI) for Nonprofit Management at the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee is partnering with the Building Movement Project (BMP) on an initiative called Supporting Nonprofit Capacity: A Survey. As we have over the past two years, HBI continues working to understand the changing environment, challenges, and capacity supports available to Wisconsin nonprofit leaders as you pursue your organization’s mission.

Take the Survey Now

Please tell us what you need to increase your organization’s impact. Your insights will help us identify and increase the capacity supports available to nonprofit leaders around the state. The survey should take about 15-20 minutes to complete, and all survey participants can enter a raffle to win $100 gift cards!

If you have any questions or concerns about the survey, please feel free to reach out.
