Nonprofits need enterprise tools on volunteer budgets.

Donor tracking, event management, volunteer coordination, impact reporting — the same systems big companies pay thousands for. But there's no IT department, no dev team, no budget.

This tutorial shows how we built the Nonprofit Org Website — a complete nonprofit hub that handles everything.

What We're Building

A nonprofit hub that:

  • Presents mission and programs
  • Manages donor relationships
  • Coordinates volunteers
  • Tracks events
  • Reports impact

Time: ~20 minutes
Skills needed: None

Step 1: The Prompt

Build a nonprofit website and management hub with:

WEBSITE:
- Home page with mission statement
- Programs/initiatives section
- Impact stories/testimonials
- Donate button
- Contact form

DONORS:
- Donor database: name, email, donation history, total given, last donation date
- Donation logging with amount and campaign
- Thank you email automation
- Donor tiers (Friend, Supporter, Champion, Guardian)

VOLUNTEERS:
- Volunteer database: name, skills, availability, hours logged
- Shift scheduling
- Hour tracking
- Recognition system

EVENTS:
- Event calendar
- Registration tracking
- Volunteer assignments
- Post-event impact reporting

IMPACT:
