[Community Development Banking List]

Original message from: eswoyer@readingpa.com

Has anyone conducted or come across a "short" electronic survey that has
been effectively used to assist in developing a local loan fund aimed at
small businesses?
Thanks,

Dear Ed,

Good question. We've used survey monkey to do short communications, even if
people are not online, you then have a uniform mechanism for computation and
data analysis. We've found shorter efforts with questions that provide
litmus test information are more effective than 100 question long efforts.

If you are considering a new loan fund, I would strongly encourage you to
explore what is already in the marketplace and how you can work with
existing institutions. We have a lot of capital opportunities both in the
U.S. and int'l. Certainly, some markets remain under-served, but few are
not served. Most of our colleagues can handle doing more deals.

Regards,
Andrew (Drew) Tulchin
