Finding potential donors to support families in need
Jurisdiction: Australia
How can we identify where families who might have second-hand baby and children's goods to donate live, and estimate the volume of goods that could be donated to families in need through organisations such as Roundabout?
Quantium is Australia’s largest analytics company and a proud partner of Roundabout Canberra. Roundabout Canberra provides safe, high quality essential baby and children’s items to families in need through their network of community and not-for-profit organisations. To support their mission, Roundabout is interested in understanding where they should target their marketing to potential donors.
Submissions could consider using population data from the ABS and considering other indicators such as SEIFA to understand where groups who may be willing to donate are located.
Roundabout is also interested in understanding how increased cost of living pressures might affect both need for services and the availability of donations and will consider submissions on this topic.
