2024 Community Survey

If you have had a hard time making rent this year, or filling the gas tank, or buying food and clothes, you are not alone! Your voice is the one we want to hear MOST in this Community Survey.

We want to know about how people in Maine are getting by, so we can make the right kind of change together. 

That's because we know people facing poverty are leaders in the fight to end it! 

Fill out the survey and you'll be entered in a drawing to win $1,800 (for one month’s rent or any other needs your family has).

Here’s what you need to know about this survey:

• We’re asking these questions to better understand how Maine people are getting by. 
• We will use your responses to help make change, to inform lawmakers, and to educate the public about what we can do to end poverty in Maine. 
• We will not share your name or contact information with anyone.
• We will only share your comments if you give us permission.
• We are not a government agency. 
• Please only respond to the Community Survey if you live in Maine and struggle to make ends meet.

People who take the Community Survey and provide contact information will be entered into a drawing to win $1,800 (for one month’s rent or any other needs they may have). The drawing will take place in December. 

Coming soon! We are working to translate the survey into French, Spanish, Arabic, Portuguese and Lingala. Downloadable copies will be posted on this page.
