Identified Challenges in Streamlining Mobile Donation and Raffle Processes

The organization faces difficulties in facilitating quick, accessible, and compliant online donation and raffle ticket purchases during live fundraising events. Current solutions lack mobile friendliness, integration with payment gateways, and physical ticket printing capabilities, leading to lower engagement and fundraising efficiency. The organization seeks a seamless digital platform to enhance donor experience, ensure regulatory compliance, and improve fundraising outcomes during major events.

About the Client

A mid-sized non-profit organization hosting large-scale fundraising events, aiming to expand donation channels, engage patrons via mobile devices, and streamline raffle ticket sales and management.

Key Goals for Developing a Secure and User-Friendly Donation & Raffle Platform

  • Design and develop a mobile-friendly web platform that provides an intuitive user experience for online donations and raffle ticket purchases.
  • Enable donors to securely purchase raffle tickets from any device, with a focus on mobile accessibility.
  • Integrate with popular payment gateways to facilitate fast and secure transaction processing.
  • Implement functionality to generate and print physical tickets for compliance and on-site drawing purposes.
  • Ensure rapid deployment within an 8-week timeframe to coincide with major event dates.
  • Achieve high engagement levels, aiming for over 100,000 tickets printed and at least $250,000 in funds raised annually, supporting multiple charity initiatives.

Core Functional Requirements for the Donation and Raffle System

  • Responsive, mobile-optimized user interface ensuring accessibility across all devices
  • Secure online payment integration with popular gateways (e.g., PayPal, credit/debit cards)
  • Real-time raffle ticket purchase interface allowing quick transactions
  • Physical ticket generation and printing system for on-site draws
  • Administrative dashboard for managing campaigns, tracking ticket sales, and generating reports
  • Compliance features to adhere to legal requirements governing raffle and donation activities
  • Event-specific branding and user experience to maximize engagement during live events

Recommended Technologies and Architectural Approaches

.NET Framework or similar robust backend technology for secure transaction handling
MVC architectural pattern for scalable and maintainable web application
Microsoft SQL Server for reliable data management
JavaScript frameworks for responsive UI

External Systems and Payment Gateways Integration Needs

  • Payment gateways such as PayPal or Stripe for seamless transaction processing
  • Physical ticket printing systems or APIs to generate printable tickets
  • Backend systems for user and transaction data management

Critical Non-Functional Considerations

  • High scalability to support large volumes of concurrent transactions during peak times
  • Fast response times under load, aiming for sub-second page loads
  • Robust security measures to protect sensitive user data and payment information
  • Compliance with legal standards related to raffles and online donations

Projected Business Benefits and Performance Expectations

The new web platform is expected to significantly enhance the organization’s fundraising capabilities by enabling over 100,000 tickets to be printed annually and raising at least $250,000 for charitable purposes. The streamlined, mobile-friendly experience will attract more donors, improve regulatory compliance, and provide a scalable infrastructure for future campaigns, resulting in increased engagement and revenue during major fundraising events.
