Help By Filling Out Survey

[The Ghost of Bondo]

If all of you here could answer these questions it would be really helpful.  This survey is for a sociology project I'm working on for school assessing the willingness or potential donation from the teen/young adult group approximately of college age (15-25ish).  Please answer truthfully, not in how it looks best...I'm not judging anyone on the answers.  And although I'll know who posted them, they'll be treated as anonymous.

Yes. It was one of those Save The Rainforest things I think, and I did it because the girl holding the can of money was good-looking. =D

Organization I'd most likely donate to:
Any of those habitat protection ones.

btw for all you people that said you couldn't afford it: bullshit. I bet at least 50% of the people here are upper class/wealthy/landed aristocracy, and your standards for "affording" things are way too high.

Typhy and Kami, about the doing both, the question assumes you are having to deal with oppertunity cost.  You either pay to go to the movies, or pay money towards a charity.  While you may have money to do both, it isn't really the aim of the question.  It is whether you'd be willing to forgoe a personal benefit for a donation.

Tasty, while I'm sure technically they could, don't bias the future results by making them feel bad , if they don't think they have money to donate, then odds are they won't, which is something I need to know.

Anyway, keep the results coming in, thanks for the help.

Just an update, I've recorded the results and am happy with the turnout here (tied my other two forums combined).  I'll update you next week when I've finished compiling the 100 responses or so our group is shooting for with some statistical information.  I figure that is what researchers are supposed to do .

If you didn't respond but would like to, please PM or post them the answers and I can add them in until Monday night.
