You are being invited to participate in a short survey that
will help us to more accurately understand the professions and trades practiced
by members of our community, particularly those in the in ‘creative’
professions. These include but are not limited to artists of all types,
‘makers’ who create or invent things whether they use traditional methods or
modern technologies, performers of all types, folk craft entrepreneurs who
produce crafts which are linked to national, ethnic, or local traditions, or
any of a wide variety of creative industries including journalism,
illustration, copy writing, interior design, advertising, floral arranging or
other plant based arts, tattooing, marketing, industrial design, graphic
design, web design, or others.
We recognize that often work that we are passionate about
isn’t always the work that brings in enough to pay for rent, food, and other
necessities; this survey will ask you to share where the work or career that
you are passionate about fits into your life.
This information will assist our fundraising efforts during
our capital campaign and inform our future strategies to support our diverse
community of entrepreneurs or those pursuing a change in career.
Participation in this survey is entirely voluntary and your
choice to complete this survey or choose not to will not impact your access to
any Metro Caring service, program, or resource. If you choose to participate in
this survey, you may choose to stop at any time and share only information you
are comfortable sharing.
Your responses will be kept private on a secure server and
used only for the reasons shared above. For more information about our privacy
policy visit our website or click here,
While it is our hope that your responses will support our
ability to provide affordable housing and access to expanded support of our
community of entrepreneurs, no direct benefit to participation is promised or
implied.
