Executive summary
SKN is a charity that has a mission of helping children in third world countries. we have made this report
to show SKN what I going wrong but also what is going good, what they can improve and what kind of
objectives they can set to improve their number of donations and how to reach the objective we have set
for SKN. The problem of SKN is that it does not have a lot of regular donors, and knowledge of existence
by people through the whole year and that is what gives SKN a low income. In the internal analysis we
have come up with some ideas of how SKN can change that and how they can attract new regular donors
throughout the whole year. Another 8000 structural donors with an average donation of at least 60 euro
a year in 2014-2016. By looking at the SWOT analysis this is possible by looking at the threats,
opportunities, weaknesses and strengths. Opportunities such as the collaboration with other
organizations, the use of new technology and high publicity during the Kinderpostzegels action can make
a big difference. When SKN works together with another organization it reaches a lot of new potential
donors that haven’t even known about the existence of SKN and attract many new donors. It also can
make an agreement of the amount of donors through the other organizations which can lead to more
donations. The other important thing is to eliminate the threats and strengthen the weaknesses. After we
have done this we have made an Marketing strategy. (Paul Hofman)

Plan pays special attention to girls in all projects. Girls are subordinated and discriminated in
many countries. Plan aims to give girls the same rights and opportunities as boys. That is not
only fair, but additionally the best way to break the poverty cycle. Educated girls can give a
greater economic contribution and allow for better future opportunities for their daughters and
sons. So does their development through all generations.

Customer behavior
1. Unicef
The behaviour of the customers of Unicef is that they are most of the time are loyal to the brand.
Unicef has a lot of fixed donors who donate every month for the rest of their lives.
This is because of their innovation and strong brand awareness.
2. Plan Nederland
Customers of Plan Nederland want to get as many information as they can. In 2001 Plan was
negatively in the news because of some people accusing Plan Nederland of fraude, which
caused a big drop of donors for Plan Nederland. Since then Plan is providing even more info
about what they are doing because they are feeling a big need of doing so.
3. SOS Kinderdorpen
SOS Kinderdorpen has more donors who give a one-time donation then structual donations. In
this time people are very focused on costs because of a bad economic situation in Holland and
that is the reason that the amount of donors is decreasing.
