Fundify

Inspiration

We started by identifying problems that hampered social good and ultimately ended up examining the breakdowns that people running charitable organizations often face.

What it does

We are an easily extensible widget as well as a web platform for charitable organizations. We give organizations of all sizes a beautiful, easy to use interface for managing payments and donations, while also giving these same organizations insights into their donors and the chance of discovery on our platform.

How we built it

We built fundify with NextJS, TypeScript, Firebase, Stripe, Tailwind, and Mantine.

Challenges we ran into

We struggled to integrate all aspects of our application into Firebase's Firestore. We also hit some snags when it came to keeping our styling consistent, developing analytics, and designing a good methodology for our explore page. Our largest challenge, though, was integrating Stripe payments.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud to have built such an ambitious application in such a small amount of time. We're also proud to have developed something positive.

What we learned

We learned how long we could stay up. We also learned that we aren't as young as we used to be (somehow at the age of 20). We also gained deeper knowledge about our tech stack. It was the first hackathon for a few of us, so that was fun too.

What's next for fundify

We want to develop more analytics, but mostly, we want to here from the organizations that use our platform, so that we can build things that people actually need.
