Take a survey to help us reach our goal, and tell us where you want the money to go!

The Toluna team has pledged to contribute to Haiti earthquake relief efforts, and starting Monday, January 25, will donate 20 cents for each survey response, until we reach a total of £6,000, to the organization our members choose. This means that when you take a survey, your participation will contribute to helping survivors of the Haiti earthquakes, whether or not you qualify for the study. Take a survey and help Toluna help the citizens of Haiti during this time of loss and healing.

In addition, cast your vote to tell us where you think the money should go! The poll will open on Monday, January 25, and close on Thursday, January 28. Help Toluna help the citizens of Haiti during this time of loss and healing- click here to cast your vote for your charity of choice.

Our thoughts are with our Toluna community members, Haiti citizens, and all who are affected by the devastating earthquakes.

Sincerely,

The Toluna Team

Haiti relief contribution details: Toluna will donate 20 cents for each survey response received beginning Monday, January 25, through February 25, until we reach a total donation of up to £6,000.  Donation will be comprised of up to $5,000 for North American survey responses, and up to €5,000 for European survey responses.  Toluna will donate the funds to one charity selected by Toluna North America and Europe members in the Haiti earthquake poll that opens on January 25, 2010 and closes on January 28, 2010.  Toluna is not responsible for votes cast but not received, regardless of cause.   A survey response occurs when a member attempts to complete a survey and completes the entire survey, or completes the initial questions, and does not qualify for whatever reason, including instances in which quota has been filled.  Toluna is making this contribution as a goodwill gesture only, and is not making an endorsement of any particular charitable organization.

Unfortunately we still are experiencing some delays with the vouchers, for which we send our apologies. We understand that some of the vouchers are beyond the promised 8 weeks and we are working hard to catch up with the delays.

We understand this is very frustrating and we hope to get your voucher to you as soon as possible. We understand our members work very hard to earn their points and we are working very hard to catch up with the delays. At present we have no specific delivery dates; as soon as we receive the vouchers they are sent out immediately, with priority to the earlier ordered vouchers. We once again apologise for the delays and kindly ask for your patience.

We hope you are still enjoying your time on the site and that you receive your voucher soon.

See you soon on the site,

Toluna Team

Dear members,

As you may have noticed, there have been problems over the past few weeks accessing the “Sponsored” link, or you may have only been able to access the first page of polls before you received an error message. If you’ve encountered this problem it is because you have already answered all the available Sponsored Polls.

Our Technical Team is working hard to find a solution. We would like to apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.
