Emergency Disaster Relief 

In response to the recent power outages, the LSUS Institute for Nonprofit Administration & Research would like to gauge the current needs of area nonprofits and provide support to help you deliver your essential services. Please fill out this questionnaire if your organization needs assistance (volunteers, supplies, or another type of need) or can help other organizations in need. https://survey.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8uo3PsJB5lyCKHk
