Virtual Promise, the annual research project into the use of the Internet by charities,
is getting underway again for its fifth year, and charities are being asked to fill
in its survey form.
The research has been conducted since the first Virtual Promise
report in 2001 by nfpSynergy. This year it is partnering with CITRA, the Charity
IT Resource Alliance, to help improve the breadth and depth of the research.

This year’s survey “should only take a few minutes”, say nfpSynergy, “and it will
invaluable to us in understanding how charity use of the Internet has developed 
over the last 12-18 months.” The survey should be completed by 27 June 2005.

A new facility allows you to complete the survey in several sessions: simply reclick
on the link to the online questionnaire and it will you take straight back to the
place in the survey where you left it, providing you use the same computer.
