THE BACKGROUND

The Problem

Greenpeace intro.png

Problem

Revenue from donations is falling year over year.

How might we motivate younger people to donate?

Challenge

I investigated Greenpeace annual reports over 10 years of trends and found the younger generation have tended to donate less and less as time goes by

Hypothesis

There was a considerable discrepancy in the different age brackets of donors, which led me to realize we need to bring younger people on board for future fundraising.

THE KEY INSIGHT

Annual Report Insight

While I was investigating annual training reports and GYSEA Data analytics to find a clue, I found interesting patterns among young professionals.
I was hired to figure out why people have a hard time donating.

  • 60% of the target donors are at least 35 years old or olderI was hired to figure out why people don’t want to donate.

  • Revenue is falling down year by year

  • The 25-34-year-old bracket has the highest population but the smallest donation segment

  • Women in the 25-34 age group represent 24% of the 'Inactive' or 'cancelled' donors

RESULT

Greenpeace Outcome.png

Using Google Analytics and Semrush Marketing reports,

I found out huge social impact on keywords variations compare to 6 month ago.

Greenpeace is now to be considered user-friendly keywords and search engine-friendly SEO & SEM in order to make users discover their website.

Still, cancellation is the number one concern in the keywords, relevant keywords fill up the Greenpeace search engine, making it easy to navigate and easily found on the search engine.

GP-Screenshot.png

Greenpeace Malaysia have drastically changed on their donation process. We minimized outdated address form and lower down the donation amount. 

Over the past 50 years, Greenpeace has indeed changed the world. Our committed activists and supporters have come together to ban commercial whaling, convince the world's leaders to stop nuclear testing, protect Antarctica, and so much more.
