Local Study Questionnaire

How To Better Engage Donors: This is an anonymous survey, our IUPUI student team would greatly benefit from your feedback! This survey will help us collect research to benefit the Coalition for Homelessness Intervention & Prevention (CHIP) funding.  We are finding new ways for CHIP to engage donors. This survey should take less than 2 minutes. Thank you!
