Dear Friends,

As you may know, recent and ongoing federal policy changes have had a significant impact on nonprofit organizations here in our Capital Region and across the nation.

With that in mind, I invite you to participate in this survey of nonprofit organizations serving our communities. The goal of this survey is to better understand the geographic reach, populations served, and funding challenges faced by nonprofits - particularly considering recent changes to federal policies.

I am especially interested in how funding shifts under recent and current presidential administrations have impacted your operations, and what changes you anticipate going forward.

The survey, which you can complete by clicking on the image below, should take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. Participation is voluntary, and all responses will be kept confidential. If you have any questions, please contact my Grants Director, Natalie Lincoln, via email at [email protected] or by calling my office at (518) 465-0700.

Thank you for the vital work you do and for taking the time to share your experiences with us.

As always, thank you for reading.

Your friend,
