Reusable fund raising website solution #18

Open hramos opened 7 years ago

hramos commented 7 years ago

Raised by @miguelrios in Slack, people have been reaching out in need of website design and hosting services for their fundraising efforts. We may want to provide a way to easily spin up a website with all the necessary information, donation collection forms, and 503c documents, with a minimum amount of upfront effort.

I'm opening this issue in order to gather requirements before deciding the proper way to provide this service.

hramos commented 7 years ago

Aside from a basic website, I would like to know what specific needs they have. Are people redirecting to third party sites such as Generosity, Indiegogo, Facebook to collect donations? Or do we need to support arbitrary form embeds?

What are the requirements for properly hosting 503c documents?

miguelrios commented 7 years ago

Voy a llamar a Adrián (uno de los q pidió esto, creo q trabaja para una Congresista). A preguntarle todas las preguntas q tengalos. Lo usamos como nuestro customer. Esa de los docs es buena, ¿alguna otra pregunta q les venga a la mente?

hramos commented 7 years ago

Pregunta si tiene algun ejemplo de un site actual al cual quieren emular. En general esto es lo que necesitaria:

@hramos are you referring to 501(c)(3) status for an organization?

hramos commented 7 years ago

Yes.

@hramos, I can help guide you through the steps to set up a non-profit entity and then to apply for tax-exempt status for the entity. stephen@progcode.org
