The National Alliance of Community Economic Development Associations (NACEDA) has engaged the Urban Institute to conduct a national survey of community-based development organizations (CBDOs). The Urban Institute emailed survey invitations to thousands of nonprofit CBDOs across the nation and encouraged them to complete the 30-minute survey by October 21. CBDOs that did not receive a survey invitation or have misplaced it can request a survey at: https://bit.ly/3Ejeaa9
The purpose of the survey is to support the efforts of NACEDA and its members to advocate for funding for CBDOs and the housing and community development activities they carry out. The survey will provide valuable information that will help CBDOs strengthen relationships with investors, build partnerships, and increase their capacities. “The national census survey will provide the solid data needed to influence policy makers and funders to increase resources for community-based development organizations,” said Frank Woodruff, NACEDA’s Executive Director.
The distribution of the survey represents the second phase of NACEDA’s Grounding Values Study, the first phase of which produced The Financial Health of Community-Based Development Organizations, a resource that includes 140 national, state, regional, and metro-area fact sheets.
