2010 Philanthropy Survey

Background

 In early 2010, the Cleveland Professional 20/30

Club’s Philanthropy Committee undertook a
club-wide survey to understand young
professionals’ interest in getting involved in
their community
 The survey was sent to more than one
thousand participants, with an 11% response
rate (above average for online surveys)
 The data is now being used to develop new
programs and initiatives funded by the 20/30
