As you know, NOSI is doing a survey on the use of FOSS in the nonprofit sector. I know that surveys only get small subsets of the communities they are trying to assess. Also, we have been accused in creating a biased survey. In a sense, we are, of course quite biased.

This is in line with the 2010 Online Giving Report. Only 11% of online donors acquired in 2007 were still giving in 2010. But analysis of actual data, instead of online or phone surveys, is still much more accurate and meaningful. Online giving growth was not slowed by the most recent recession.
