ONLINE PLATFORM FOR DONOR ORGANIZATIONS

Introduction

Welcome to our survey.

Your participation will not take more than 10 minutes and you can be sure we appreciate your time.

We are currently developing an online platform in order to improve donor’s project management capacities and offer modern communication tools, with the main aim to reach a greater impact.

By sharing your needs and expectations with us, we will be able to include them in our final product and design it even closer to your needs.

This survey is of course fully anonymous. The gathered data is strictly for our internal use.

We are planning to have a Design-Thinking-Workshop in Berlin, as soon as the current COVID-19-Restrictions allow. If you are interested to take part, please provide us with your email at the end of the survey.
