As we plan our 2007 education program, we welcome your feedback and review of our education services.


We would appreciate it greatly if you could take a few moments to complete this 
ANONYMOUS survey that will aid in planning for our 2007 ePhilanthropy Foundation educational programming. 


You can even make sure you are the first to know about some exciting new initiatives to help you succeed online in 2007.

Additionally, if you choose to enter into our drawing, two lucky survey respondents will be chosen at random to receive an autographed copy of our latest book, Major Donors: Finding Big Gifts in your Database and Online.


It would be particularly helpful if you would complete this survey BEFORE January 31, 2007.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to complete this survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=397863065520
