Brief 1: Email to send out to charities for first hand research

Hi there,

We are currently working on a project that explores the relationship between local charities and their donators, to better understand the connections and conversations that go on between the two.

Our plan is to develop a platform that brings closer together donators and local charities, creating stronger bonds between them whilst also increasing their awareness to the local public.

The platform aims to give organisations a bigger voice which will enable them to spread the good word of their giving nature, whilst also informing people the extensive power of giving. All the while the platform aims to make the process of giving more smooth and efficient for both parties involved.

Below are a few questions, if you have a moment to answer them, be that as many as you see fit, it would be hugely appreciated. Your answers will give us a first-hand understanding of charities, all in the hope to develop something that truly recognises the good and potential obstacles of an organisation like yourselves.

Thankyou in advance,
Have a great day,
Elliott and Jonathan

Questions:

1. What, if any, problems do you come across on a regular basis when seeking donations?

2. Where do you receive the most donations? (E.g. on street, online, investors/grants etc.)

3. Do you feel there are more effective ways to help out a charity than simply to donate money?

4. Do you think there are ways that the collection of donations could be improved?

5. What are the main overheads of running a charity?

6. Do you think that transparency within charities can help increase people's trust within them?

7. Are you open to the idea of charities being transparent with their business workings?

8. What, if any, platforms do you use to communicate your charity? (E.g. Facebook, JustGiving, Twitter etc.)

9. Do you think that there is an opportunity for an open platform that would both; help create a smoother method of campaigning for charities and an easier, more efficient donating process for the public?
