As in other markets PSP operates in, a PSP goal in Malaysia is to establish a sustainable source of funding through monthly donors to be recruited by several acquisition channels i.e. face to face fundraising, online, and telemarketing. UNHCR operations in Malaysia, currently benefiting 170,000 refugees and other persons of concern, provides an excellent operational context to present UNHCR to the public in a compelling manner and to seek financial support from individual donors in support of UNHCR programs in Malaysia and worldwide. PSP activities in collaboration with other units also contribute to raise UNHCR brand awareness and improve public perceptions on refugees. Due to the size of the database and the diversity of the donors recruited, the office also operates a complex donor relationship management. PSP activities in Malaysia span across Individual giving (IG) and Private Partnerships and philanthropy (PPH). IG strategies encompass the acquisition of individual donors via a mix of channels such as Face to Face, Digital, Telemarketing, Direct Response Television (DRTV), and Acquisition Mail as well as stewardship communication via telemarketing, email and direct mail. PPH strategies play a growing role in the fundraising portfolio of targeting corporates, foundations, High Net Worth Individuals, and Islamic philanthropy.

Over the next few years, UNHCR will work with key system integrators to migrate other existing donor databases as well as set up new markets using Salesforce as the database of record to manage all individual giving, leadership giving/partnerships as well as digital donors relationships, income management, reporting etc. In this context, PSP Malaysia has worked with UNHCR regional team and will be soon migrating the current database to Salesforce which is requiring an expert in order to manage it effectively with advanced analysis, segmentation, prospecting, and overall fundraising reporting to further marketing activities and income generation.
