Challenge

Challenge

Challenge

The existing charity website was disconnected from the Taishin Charity Foundation’s official site, resulting in a fragmented user experience and low participation in e-voting campaigns. Users faced difficulties accessing information about non-profit organizations' past activities, and the unclear e-voting process further hindered engagement. The inefficient voting flow and lack of a follow-up platform also discouraged participation. The platform served two distinct user groups: general audience members who voted and donated for charities, and non-profit organizations that posted their proposals to attract sponsors and increase votes.

We discussed with the client marketing team and found out the goal was to integrate the "Power of Love" charity campaign with the official website to create a unified user experience, streamline the voting process, and enhance participation. This included improving access to information for both general users and non-profit organizations, clarifying e-voting steps, and optimizing the voting flow.

Users struggle with tracking and managing their interests of the group of organizations on the platform.

Challenges and Breakthroughs

Through deep qualitative research with the client's donors, we realized that an email was not enough for them to feel appreciated. Therefore, we are designing an integrated member communication platform within the website that includes customizable notification settings, allowing users to choose how often and about what they are notified. Implementing end-to-end encryption for private messages and secure channels for community discussions will ensure user trust and safety.

Non-profit Organization Content Management

Non-profit Organization Content Management

We develop a robust content management system that allows nonprofit organizations to effectively showcase their missions, achievements, and needs. Enhance the platform with personalization features that tailor content delivery based on user preferences, interaction history, and engagement levels to ensure relevance and increase user retention.

Challenges and Breakthroughs

Managing a large volume of content from various nonprofits while maintaining high-quality, engaging, and timely updates can be overwhelming and resource-intensive. So this system could also include features that enable nonprofits to easily update their profiles and posts on this website, ensuring their latest achievements and needs are promptly highlighted to the community.
