"They didn't just need another donation button; they needed a completely reimagined platform to leave behind outdated car washes and high-fee services, putting the money back into the community."
When we first began looking at how non-profits, schools, and civil organizations were raising money, we found them relying heavily on outdated, labor-intensive solutions like door-to-door cash collections. Furthermore, the few digital platforms that did exist were taking exorbitant percentage fees, draining these organizations of their hard-earned funds. Our first step was understanding how to build an intuitive, low-friction platform that maximized community giving.
Built on ASP.NET Core
A modern fundraising platform needs flexibility to maximize its potential. We architected a robust backend utilizing C#, ASP.NET Core MVC, and SQL Server. Beyond just accepting direct donations, we built a hybrid system where users can select items from a curated digital product catalog or upload their own physical merchandise to sell. Through a deep integration with Stripe, we ensured that non-profits and schools receive instant payouts without the traditional waiting periods.
"A successful campaign requires more than just goodwill—it demands a powerful, low-fee foundation. By engineering a scalable architecture with Entity Framework Core and Stripe, we delivered a versatile e-commerce and donation hybrid that empowers schools and non-profits to keep more of what they raise, with funds disbursed instantly."
