Volunteer Personal Costs Survey 2007
Victoria University of Wellington and Volunteering NZ are working together on a research project to find out the financial costs of volunteering incurred by volunteers and the organizations they volunteer for where some or all of these costs are reimbursed, and whether they are preventing some from volunteering.
We are inviting you to participate in a survey that will provide us with information for this research. The survey should take no longer than 20 minutes to complete. The information gained will help in providing a better understanding of how personal costs have an impact on volunteering. It will also be used in representations to Government about policy developments affecting volunteering.
There are two forms of the questionnaires, one "for volunteers" directed to individual volunteers and the other is "for voluntary organizations" which should be completed by a representative or treasurer of your voluntary organisation.
We would ask you to forward this invitation to participate in the survey to your volunteers. We would prefer that responses are completed on line, but recognise this may not be possible for some individual volunteers. If this is the case, copies of the questionnaire can be printed out, accessing it through the link to the Volunteering NZ website provided below.
Paper based replies may be either faxed to 04 3843637 or mailed to Volunteering NZ PO Box 24526, Manners Street, Wellington.
If you have a regular network of voluntary organisations, would you please pass on this invitation to participate through your network.
Your contribution is very valuable for the success of this project. It will be treated as strictly private and anonymous.
Thank you.
