Survey Tells Us How to Improve
Global Perspectives | Fall 2009


In August 2009, Global Partnerships issued our first-ever online survey to learn how to improve our communication efforts. More than 500 donors, subscribers and web visitors responded (thank you!). What did we learn? For one, the majority of you gave Global Partnerships high marks for conveying the impact of contributions and investments in the lives of the people we serve. Also, 35 percent said you learned of Global Partnerships through a friend or family member and an additional 13 percent first learned of us by attending the annual Business of Hope Luncheon.

Many of you also shared valuable insights on how we can improve, including featuring more stories and brief videos of borrowers who have benefited from our programs, updates on our programs, and reports on trends in the microfinance industry. Suggestions for new directions varied—some urged us to dive into “Web 3.0,” while others suggested we find “innovative new ways for donors to become involved.”

Your feedback is helping us shape plans for an upcoming revamp to our homepage, as well as changes to our email and print communications. Stay tuned, and send any further comments to Hana Rubin (206.652.8735).
