Participant Feedback

We annually ask our participants how they feel about the project and its implementation through an anonymous feedback survey.

Here's what they've shared.

The Denver Basic Income Project utilizes an annual survey through Listen4Good, a listening tool that helps organizations gather, interpret, and respond to feedback from the people they serve.

Our hope is to gather valuable data from our participants to better serve them through our project’s community outreach and participant engagement efforts.

In 2023, 83% of participants reported that they would recommend the Denver Basic Income Project to a friend or family member in a similar situation to them.

In 2024, 89% of participants reported that they would recommend the Denver Basic Income Project to a friend or family member in a similar situation to them.
