2022 Open Arms Challenge

• Try to keep all possible answers to a question together on one page
• Have you played with the font and format to try to fit it neatly on 2 pages?
• Ideally you could design it as a foldable return-mailer, so that when folded at least one side could have your organization's mailing address on it, space for a return address, and--if anyone still does the discounted bulk mailing, have that postal information where a stamp would be.  If it can't reasonably fit on a sheet of 8.5 x 11 paper, perhaps moving to 11 x 17, and asking a few more questions or adding some other information would be worthwhile for you.
  • You could consider adding an open-ended question at the end regarding what they see as the most urgent animal welfare and service needs for animals in their community.  It might encourage non-pet owners to throw out suggestions or somehow engage.
  • Do you want to encourage further engagement?  Volunteer, donate, attend open house?

Hi Anna,

This is awesome - I LOVE the idea of asking your community what they need!

I just took the online survey, so if you have a response from eby@maddiesfund.org, it's me.

As I finished the survey, I got this screen which I wasn't eternally sure what it meant or what to do next.  When I clicked Option 1, the survey submitted.


Otherwise, the survey made sense - questions were clear and the survey flowed easily.

I LOVE all of April's suggestions, too.   I am more likely to fill out things that are shorter for sure.  

Thanks for sharing!
