How Possip Works for Nonprofits

As a nonprofit leader, you have competing responsibilities and commitments. You serve a diverse and multi-dimensional community. Removing barriers to hear from the people you serve and your staff is essential to your work.

Pulse Checks®

Pulse Checks give you an affordable, high-impact way to strengthen your impact. They also reduce the difficulty of collecting meaningful data for your reporting and compliance requirements and can help bolster your fundraising efforts!

Through Pulse Checks, you can customize quick check-ins to learn about your community’s needs, insights, and ideas. We will partner with you to design quick, one-minute pulse check surveys that can be administered in over 100 languages and give you insights and data in a matter of days.

What do you need to know?

You can hear from your diverse, dispersed people and affordably meet your nonprofit’s most critical needs and priorities – fundraising, program impact, staff retention, or reporting and compliance.

In addition to Pulse Checks, you can partner with Possip on Long-Form Surveys, Strategic Planning, our 52-week Nonprofit Leadership SMS Guide, or our Nonprofit Capacity-Building partner.

A nonprofit in a rural community provides services to vulnerable and low-income populations. They wanted to know what was working well for their population, and used Pulse Checks to learn! Given their population doesn't have steady access to Wi-Fi, they found the SMS feature to be especially exciting. As a result of their Pulse Checks, they documented praise that supported their case to keep their staff. They gathered ideas for trainings their community wanted and didn't want. With the strength of their Pulse Check data, they were able to write (and win!) a grant to continue learning- and growing- with their community.

A non-profit in Florida works with program participants and alumni across multiple cities. They wanted to serve both populations well. They also wanted to meet the unique needs voiced by participants and alumni in different cities. They used Pulse Checks to learn what events would engage their alumni to increase participation; the perceptions of their program participants' experiences; and what participants needed in terms of support and training.
