Challenge of Expanding Charitable Donations via Technology Solutions

As societal and environmental concerns grow, there is an increasing demand for user-friendly platforms that enable effortless charitable giving. Clients face challenges in scaling donation processes globally, ensuring reliability, and providing charities with tools to enhance their visibility and attract new donors. Existing solutions lack seamless automation, flexibility, and scalability to accommodate a growing international user base.

About the Client

A mid-sized international charity platform aiming to streamline donor engagement and fundraising through innovative technology, facilitating ease of donations and increasing visibility for charities globally.

Goals for Developing an Automated, Scalable Donation Platform

  • Create a reliable digital platform that enables automatic, round-up style donations linked to users' payment cards.
  • Support user-configurable donation limits to align contributions with individual financial capabilities.
  • Provide charities with profile management features to increase visibility and facilitate donor engagement.
  • Design the system for global scalability to support a rapidly increasing international user base.
  • Ensure platform security, performance, and high availability to support continuous operations.

Core Functionalities Needed for the Donation Platform

  • Payment card linking module with secure handling of financial data
  • Automatic donation processing on each purchase with round-up functionality
  • Donation limit configuration for individual users
  • User dashboard for tracking donations and managing preferences
  • Charity profile creation and management interface
  • Donation history and reporting tools
  • Notification system for donation updates and charitable events

Technology Stack and Architectural Preferences

Heroku or equivalent cloud platform for deployment
Ruby on Rails (RoR) framework for backend development
React.js for frontend interface
Redux for state management in complex UI flows
SCSS and Bootstrap for responsive, user-friendly design

Key External System Integrations Needed

  • Payment gateway APIs for secure card linking and transactions
  • Banking systems for transaction validation
  • Charity database or profile management systems
  • Notification services (email/SMS) for user updates

Critical Non-Functional System Requirements

  • System scalability to support a multi-national user base with thousands of concurrent users
  • High system availability (target 99.9% uptime)
  • Data security and compliance with financial data standards (e.g., PCI DSS)
  • Fast response times ensuring user satisfaction (load times under 2 seconds)

Projected Business Outcomes from the Donation Platform Development

The new platform is expected to significantly increase global charitable donations by providing an easy and automated method for micro-donations, leading to higher user engagement and retention. It aims to expand the client’s market reach, improve platform reliability, and facilitate charity visibility on an international scale, resulting in increased donor contributions and community support.
