Updated thinking
Having reviewed the Donor survey put out by Wikimedia Deutschland a year ago (See here) I note that their survey focused more on establishing donors' knowledge of how to edit and attitudes to the projects their donations fund.

Generally it has made me re-think the questions in-depth and what we should include to have a tighter focus on the following areas:
 * Awareness of existing communications channels
 * Reasons for supporting Wikimedia
 * Awareness of our current work
 * Understanding of the editing process
 * Interest in more active engagement with WMUK

The hope is that results will tell us:
 * What communications channels are most effective, and which we may need to promote or improve in talking to our donors
 * What reasons motivated people to support us, with the aim of prioritising the most important in talking to them
 * Establishing what people know about us, and seeing if this changes in 12 months after a planned programme of donor communication
 * Seeing how many of our donors edit, and finding out if we can improve that through 12 months of donor comms (measured through an increased survey response, but we might hope to see more people coming to editing events etc)
 * Seeing if there is an appetite amongst donors for active engagement in terms of membership, attending events and meet ups, and more active editing.
