** PLEASE ACT NOW - YOUR INPUT AFFECTS OUR NETWORK **
YOUR INPUT IS NEEDED TO DEVELOP A CASE FOR GIVING 
IN RESPONSE TO COVID-19
 
A special thank you to those agencies which have completed this important survey. To date, responses have been received from less than 20% of NJHSA membership. We understand the data may be difficult to obtain or to estimate but we are encouraging all agencies that have not yet completed the survey to do so by the end of this week. 

If you are only able to complete parts of the survey, we are encouraging you to respond to the following questions:
  • Q 2-5: FY 18/19 fiscal data
  • Q 6-9: FY 19/20 fiscal data
  • Q 14:  Estimates on staff lay-offs and/or furloughs
  • Q 15:  Number of clients served in FY 18/19
  • Q 19:  Estimates on impact of COVID-19 on continued service provision.
We hope you will join us with this effort so that we can develop a comprehensive profile which will be used to craft a meaningful Case for Giving to support our member agencies and the Jewish human service sector. All agencies participating in the survey will receive the written summary report for your own use locally.
 
Our plan is to utilize this information to advocate for government funding and to also make the case to funders within the Jewish philanthropic world, as well as the broader human service arena.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this survey:   https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NJHSANEEDS

A pdf copy of the survey can be found here so you can see all questions in advance.
 
Please note:  You should be able to complete the survey in one sitting, but will need access to your agency's financial information in order to do so. Please feel free to pass the survey along to an appropriate colleague within your agency who has easy access to your financial information. Please make every effort to complete the survey by close of business on Friday, April 3rd.

Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact:  Reuben Rotman, CEO, NJHSA at 201-615-1984; or Joy Goldstein, Associate Vice President, Planning & Research, JFNA at 215-514-7998.

Thank you, in advance, for your participation in this critical effort.
