NPO Accounting Software Project
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
[Software Freedom Conservancy](https://sfconservancy.org/) is leading an
|
|
[effort to create accounting software for non-profit organizations](https://sfconservancy.org/campaign/).
|
|
|
|
Conservancy welcomes the help of anyone who is interested in this issue to
|
|
design and develop this software. If you want to get involved right now,
|
|
look below for [[information about how to get involved with this project|index#howtohelp]].
|
|
|
|
## Phase 0
|
|
|
|
Conservancy has done the following:
|
|
|
|
- [Writing a tutorial on a Ledger-CLI setup for fiscal sponsor 501(c)3 organizations](https://gitorious.org/ledger/npo-ledger-cli/).
|
|
- [[Finding and evaluating existing Free Software accounting systems|ExistingProjects]].
|
|
- [[Writing use cases for non-profit accounting|UseCases]].
|
|
|
|
## Phase 1
|
|
|
|
Phase 1 calls for the project to:
|
|
|
|
- [Create an REST API for basic double-entry accounting, currently using Ledger-CLI as a backend](http://npoacct.sfconservancy.org/accounting-api/)
|
|
- Add functionality to that API that already exists in the [documented Ledger-CLI setup for NPO's](https://gitorious.org/ledger/npo-ledger-cli/).
|
|
- Create various reports using that API, to flush out improvements that are needed.
