What is a Fundraising Campaign Feedback Survey?

A fundraising campaign feedback survey collects experience-based feedback about one appeal and the journey around it. It can include contributors and people who considered participating, which helps separate campaign-message problems from contribution-flow problems.

When to use this template

Use this template after an online appeal, giving day, peer-to-peer drive or time-limited campaign. It is designed for campaign improvement, not donor profiling. Keep donation records in the appropriate secure system rather than asking respondents to repeat financial information in the survey.

Seven optional questions

Use these seven questions as a focused starting point. Every question is optional so the creator can preserve the exact set, remove an item that does not fit the context, or adapt choices before sharing. The template is original editorial content, not a validated scale.

How to adapt it

Replace “campaign” with the public campaign name and make the first-contact choices match the channels actually used. If non-contributors receive the survey, keep “I did not try” and “I did not receive one” choices. Describe privacy and publicity choices in plain language, and never infer that someone declined to contribute because of a single response. Review sensitive questions and open-ended analysis before launch. Keep each item tied to the stated task and avoid collecting data that the decision does not require.

How to interpret responses

Segment results first by discovery channel and whether respondents tried to act. Then compare purpose clarity, journey ease, privacy-choice clarity and acknowledgment within those groups. Code the open answer into one primary improvement theme and preserve minority concerns about privacy or accessibility even when average ratings look strong. Treat update preferences as communication choices, not blanket marketing consent.

In a randomized field experiment on a large online crowdfunding platform, Burtch, Ghose and Wattal describe the “increased visibility and traceability of transactions” around online fundraising. Their results show that privacy-control design can affect contribution behavior in more than one direction. That supports asking whether choices were clear, not assuming that publicity or anonymity is universally preferred. See Burtch et al. .

Frequently asked questions

Should the survey ask how much someone contributed?

Usually not. Exact amounts are financial information and should remain in the secure contribution system. This template focuses on the campaign experience.

Can people who did not contribute respond?

Yes. Keep the invitation neutral and include choices for people who did not try or did not receive a confirmation. Their feedback can reveal message or journey barriers.

Does update preference equal marketing consent?

No. Treat the response as research unless a separate, compliant consent process explicitly covers future communications.
