Here are a few learnings:
- 146 of you took the time to fill in the survey—that’s an excellent 34% response rate–in itself an indication of how much you care and connect to CCS. Thank you.
- 16 people told us about their giving preferences, which is good to know.
- The following are the answers to some specific questions.
