SurveyMonkey Contribute

Creating Your Contribute Account

Signing Up for Contribute

If you’re eligible, you can sign up for a free Contribute account and start taking surveys today.

When you sign up for Contribute, you also get a SurveyMonkey account (our free plan) you can use to create your own surveys. The username and password are the same for both accounts.

Your Profile

As part of the sign-up process, you'll fill out a profile with general questions about you and your lifestyle. This profile info helps ensure you’ll take surveys relevant to you, your background, and other targeting criteria that SurveyMonkey Audience customers are looking for.

To update or edit your profile:

1. Log in to your Contribute account.
2. In the upper-right corner, click My Account.
3. Click Edit my profile.
4. Select Edit your answer to update any existing profile info or Tell us more about you to complete more profile questions.

We share basic demographic info in survey results. To maintain your privacy, we never share your name, username, email address, or home address. For more information, please read our Privacy Notice.

Taking Surveys

Finding Surveys

To take a survey, you can log into your Contribute account and click Take a survey from your dashboard, like you can see in the image at the top of this article.

We sometimes send you an email or text inviting you to take surveys, if you’re subscribed for these notifications. You can update your Notification Settings at any time.

There may not always be surveys available that match your profile, but don’t worry—we’ll have more surveys for you to take soon.

Completing Surveys

When you complete a survey, we’ll automatically donate to your default charity.

You’ll also gain a chance to spin the wheel to the win the sweepstake prize. You can go to your dashboard and Play to Win to see if you have any spins.

In order to donate to your default charity and Play to Win you must complete the survey. Completing the survey means that you answer all required questions and click Done on the last page of the survey.

Some surveys may have screening questions at the start of the survey to ensure survey creators are getting the respondent data they need. You may not complete the survey and collect a reward if you are disqualified by the screening questions.

If you exit a survey before completing it, you won't receive credit, and you won't be able to access the same survey again.

Where do surveys come from?

You’re taking surveys created by SurveyMonkey customers who purchased responses from SurveyMonkey Audience. Customers can target the types of people they want to hear from—from all over the world.

You may notice a wide variety of survey subjects and tone, but all surveys should still adhere to our Acceptable Uses Policy and design guidelines and recommendations.

If you have concerns about a survey you’re taking, please report the survey.

Editing Your Account Settings

To get to your account settings, click My Account in the upper-right corner of your dashboard. Click on the setting you wish to update.

Contribute Plug-in

We retired the Contribute Plug-in. This means if you have the plug-in installed, we're not collecting data about the use of your device and there's no increase in the donations made to participating charities.

Nominating Charities

If you know of or work for a charity that may be interested in SurveyMonkey Contribute, feel free to forward or complete our charity partner application.

Our charity manager reviews submissions and reaches out to charities we believe are a good fit for our program with next steps to become a participating charity.

Reporting an Issue

If you have concerns about a survey you’re taking, please click Report a problem with this survey at the bottom of any survey page to alert us. We’ll review the survey and can work with the survey owner to improve their survey or discontinue it. If you’re curious, learn more about how to detect and avoid scams.
