Mini Non-Profit Supporters and Donors Database
|
|
|
|
|
==============================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Supporters" is a small donor database for non-profit fundraising that uses
|
|
|
|
|
Ledger-CLI as a backend for accounting data.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
While this system is used in production for Software Freedom Conservancy, the
|
|
|
|
|
code is likely only appropriate if you plan to do a lot of work on the
|
|
|
|
|
command-line. Eventually, the ideal would be to refactor CiviCRM to support
|
|
|
|
|
the ideas and Ledger-CLI integration represented in this code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Why Does This Exist?
|
|
|
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Conservancy needed a simple donor database and could not invest the resources
|
|
|
|
|
required to maintain a CiviCRM instance: most organizations that use CiviCRM
|
|
|
|
|
either pay for hosting or devote some amount of staff time its maintenance.
|
|
|
|
|
Conservancy could afford neither, but this weekend-hack version of a database
|
|
|
|
|
suits our needs (at least for now).
