Merging Charity with my UXD final project

My reason for taking GA's user experience design course has a broader intent. I don't just see user experience design in the digital space- creating mobile apps or websites that are user friendly. I wish to apply the research and design approach to create a product that can help those that need it most. What drove me to take the course was how connected user experience design is to human centered design. My inspiration is IDEO.org which is the non-profit arm of the design consultancy, which has done truly amazing work to empower the poor, and showcased it well. They believe that by understanding and working alongside those in the greatest need, they can design solutions that create prosperity. With the technology out there to share ideas and stories through various platforms that connect so many people, I really believe a non-profit or any organization that's trying to do good in the world must leverage these tools to stay relevant, gather supporters and make an impact. The trend is video, interactive media, infograpics since people have shortened attention spans in the age of twitter and instagram.

With that in mind, I created a survey to learn about what user preferences are with regards to charity/ volunteering, with the goal of bringing some changes to the ways non-profits interact with their donors and volunteers.

Please complete the survey and share it with your friends! It's anonymous and it will be really helpful to me.

I'm usually big on words and short on graphics, but an awesome infographic landed in my inbox this morning from mint life on Millenials and Charity Giving.
