Nonprofit Program Alumni Engagement and Impact Survey
Tracks how connected alumni of a nonprofit program (fellowship, service corps, leadership cohort, scholarship, etc.) still feel to the organization, what keeps them involved or drifting away, and which reengagement offerings they'd actually value — with an AI follow-up that digs into the real reasons behind their current engagement level.
Sample questions
A preview of what’s in the template. Every question is editable before you launch.
How long ago did you complete or leave the program?
- Less than 1 year ago
- 1-3 years ago
- 3-5 years ago
- 5-10 years ago
- More than 10 years ago
Right now, how connected do you feel to the (Replace with your organization name) alumni community?
In the last 12 months, which of these have you done?
- Attended an alumni event
- Donated money
- Volunteered time
- Mentored a current participant
- Referred someone to the program
- Followed or engaged with us on social media
How much do you agree with each statement about your experience?
- The program gave me skills I still use
- The program expanded my professional or personal network
- The program shaped my sense of purpose or values
- I still feel a sense of belonging to this community
Which of these alumni offerings would matter most to you if we brought them back or introduced them?
- Mentoring current program participants
- Networking events with fellow alumni
- A job or career opportunities board
- Skills workshops or webinars
- An annual reunion or gathering
- Regional or local alumni chapters
- An online community or discussion group
- Ways to donate or fundraise for the program
Anchor on the respondent's reported activity in the last 12 months and their connection rating. If they've stayed engaged, probe what specifically keeps them coming back and what would make them do even more. If they selected 'none' or rated connection low, dig into when and why they drifted — was it lack of relevant invitations, life circumstances, a bad past experience, or simply feeling forgotten — and what single thing might realistically pull them back in. Get one concrete story, not just a general impression.
How likely are you to recommend this program to someone considering applying?

How it compares
We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.
Why this template
- Segments respondents by time since program completion and by concrete engagement behaviors (volunteering, donating, event attendance, referrals) in the last 12 months, not just vague sentiment.
- Pairs a connection-strength rating and an agreement matrix with an AI follow-up interview that specifically anchors on the respondent's own reported activity and connection level to dig into why they're engaged or drifting.
- Uses a max-diff exercise and a constant-sum budget-allocation question to force real tradeoffs on which reengagement offerings and priorities actually matter, rather than letting everyone rate everything highly.
- Closes with an open-ended 'what would make you more involved' question plus firmographic/demographic classifiers (sector, age range) so the auto-generated report can segment findings by alumni type.
Jotform
Alumni Engagement Survey Form TemplateA ready-to-use static form template covering general alumni engagement questions, built on Jotform's drag-and-drop form builder. It's fielding-ready out of the box but is a generic engagement questionnaire rather than one tuned to nonprofit program cohorts (fellowships, service corps, scholarships).
What it does well
- Fielding-ready template with Jotform's widely used drag-and-drop builder and broad integration ecosystem
- Easy to customize question wording and branding without technical setup
Where it falls short
- Static question set with no adaptive follow-up logic to probe why an alumnus feels connected or disengaged
- No built-in per-response quality scoring or automated analysis report
- No documented methodology or prompt transparency since there's no AI component
QuestionPro
Non Profit Alumni Survey Questions + Sample Questionnaire TemplateThis is explicitly framed for nonprofit alumni, making it the closest domain match, but it reads as a sample questionnaire/question bank rather than a single polished, fielding-ready survey flow. Good source of question ideas but likely needs assembly before deployment.
What it does well
- Nonprofit-specific framing that matches this audience (alumni of programs/organizations, not just schools)
- Question bank format gives breadth of sample items to borrow from
Where it falls short
- Presented as a questionnaire/sample list rather than a single guided, ready-to-send survey experience
- No adaptive AI interviewing to follow up on individual answers about engagement drivers
- No automated report generation or response quality scoring built into the offering
SurveySparrow
Alumni Engagement Survey TemplateA conversational, chat-style survey template, but it's explicitly built 'for educational institutions' — i.e., school/university alumni — rather than nonprofit program cohorts like fellowships or leadership programs. Useful as a UX reference but a domain mismatch for nonprofit alumni programs.
What it does well
- Conversational chat-style UI that can feel more engaging than a plain form
- Purpose-built for education-sector alumni engagement use cases
Where it falls short
- Designed for academic institutions, not nonprofit fellowships/service corps/scholarship programs, so question framing won't fit as-is
- No adaptive AI follow-up interview to probe the reasons behind engagement or drift
- No transparent AI prompt methodology or automated quality scoring, since there's no AI interviewing layer
