The fundraising operation in the Individual´s area has been focused on pledge acquisition and has increased in the last years with an average of 15,000 donors annually. PFP expects to keep increasing at a double rate in coming years. The number of suppliers (F2F Agencies, Call Centers, Online Payment Gateways, etc.) doing donor acquisition has increased in numbers with a subsequent growing complexity in terms of database management. The inclusion of security measures in hand with new standards required by UNICEF made these processes even more sophisticated. The payment processes for local fundraising purposes also increased in the last 5 years, which makes more demanding and diverse the bank/credit card transaction activities.
