Happy New Year (and apologies in advance for cross postings…) if you alsosee this on any listservs!

A number of you have previously participated in the matching gift surveys for which results were compiled and presented at the CASE Matching Gifts Symposiums in ’06 and ’07, the CASE Senior Advancement Services Professionals Conference in ’06 and also the Annual Giving Professionals Network [AGPN] in ‘07.

We’ve revised and upgraded the survey to allow a greater depth and breadth of details for analysis including questions on Matching Gift Stewardship.

We’ll be comparing and contrasting to prior surveys with the continued intent of providing ideas on how we can all make our matching gifts practices more effective.

It’s a good investment of 10-15 minutes of your time and we are hopeful that participation will continue to improve over previous years.

Results will be shared with participants and also - should the opportunity arise - presented at upcoming conferences.

To those of you who participate I offer thanks in advance from myself and from Amy Phillips!

Have a great day,

Brian Dowling
