Friends of Grand Rapids Parks is committed to their belief that vibrant parks and public spaces are essential to support the community’s economic competitiveness, environmental health and cultural well-being. To support their efforts to provide inclusive quality services and to actively engage members of the communities they serve, they have requested that Inclusive Performance Strategies(IPS) facilitate an evaluation to measure their capacity to provide inclusive services.

As part of IPS’s evaluation, we are collecting data through the following survey from volunteers, partners, supporters, and community members to obtain a snapshot of Friends' current state to support quality services to all community members of all culturally diverse backgrounds. 


The survey will take 5 minutes or less to complete. All answers will remain confidential and results of the survey will be reported in aggregate. After Inclusive Performance Strategies completes their evaluation the information will be utilized to develop a strategic blue print for inclusion for Friends of Grand Rapids Parks. Thank you for your participation.
