The challenge of defining the right personae in the non profit world

The digital challenge for NGOs and charities is to manage the different types of audience engagement depending on the time of year. What are the keys to having a site that performs well at all times and fulfills the different missions of the website without compromising the user experience?


 

What does an NGO or charity website should do?

  • to increase the organisation's brand awareness, its actions and the means of engagement with the organisation

  • build audience loyalty and repeat visits

  • to increase the number of donors

  • build donor loyalty and optimise donation collection

  • increase non-financial commitment to the organisation


What are the challenges the website needs to tackle?

  • Convincing people of the validity of its actions

  • Reassure them about the management of the funds entrusted to them for projects and for the organisation

  • Communicating and gaining support for current and future projects

  • Promote beneficiaries, teams and people involved in the organisation

  • Giving meaning to commitment and donations and motivating people to take action




And assuming that:

  • Visitors come each day on the website but there is still a potential to attract more people to the website

  • Potential donators are among these visitors and need to be "motivated" to donate

  • Donators are regularly donating at the end of the year

  • Donators might be "motivated" to give more, differently or more frequently


What work needs to be done?


  • Personae design :

    • Who should be using your website: gender, sociodemographic, geography, occupation,...

    • What is their purpose in using the website: getting information, getting involved, donating,...

    • How to convert visitors into donators and people that commit to your actions

  • Ergonomic and graphic design

  • Site functional architecture and user journey

  • Services and features

  • Donation funnel (and it starts way sooner than expected)

  • Data and facts analysis: audience measurement tools, behaviour analysis tools,...
