[edit] Summary

The money tracker/ where did my money go: Smart way to make donations and track those donations – You can track where donations are going- like you track your mail. In this way you can leverage transparency — and it becomes a social change tool. As text messages are sent when supplies are arriving at shelters- connect it to ensure money arrives at right place- as well as meeting the right needs (i.e. we need cash not cans). Organizations can state we are winning- donors know where to donate $ (One laptop per child initiative).

[edit] Technical Documentation

Code Base: The system is being developed in Python and Django.

Database: The database structure has been defined in Tracker/models.py

The database is running on SQLite3. You can run the script at http://127.0.0.1:8000/createSampleData to add some records to Payments, Contact Types and Categories.

Webpage: The donor create page is working (no validation, and very ugly). The other pages have the basic structure done, but are not connected to the database yet.

  • Keen to see this ported to Sahana Eden which is built on Python, but uses a different framework.
