Donation & Fundraising Platform

Fullstack Engineer — designed and built solo, no dedicated designer

Under NDA — client and product details withheld

This project is under NDA — the client and product name can't be shared. What follows is limited to my role and the technical approach: a donation and fundraising platform for nonprofits, charities, and religious and educational institutions, built solo, start to finish, from the database schema to the storefront UI.

The Challenge

The client needed a full donation platform, not just a checkout form: campaign pages, donor management, recurring giving, and partner-facing widgets, all shipped by a single engineer with no design handoff to work from.

The Approach

  • Checkout and donation forms handling one-time and recurring gifts, with donor accounts to manage giving history
  • Campaign pages built as a self-serve surface staff could launch and edit without touching code
  • Donor management with segmentation, so outreach could target donors by giving history instead of blasting the full list
  • Embeddable donation widgets and white-label campaign landing pages, letting partner organizations run their own campaigns on the platform's rails
  • Automated tax-receipt generation with export to accounting tools, removing a manual bookkeeping step at year-end

The Outcome

7+

donor-facing modules shipped — checkout, campaigns, donor CRM, recurring giving, embeddable widgets
