Project Description

Software for a Non-profit Organization’s Book Keeping

Objective:

To develop a software system for a non-profit organization that is used to do the book
keeping for their participants. It can be a web application or a mobile app.

Description of the problem:

A non-profit organization needs to keep a record of the participants in relates to various
events and programs. The participants include the donor, the volunteer and the others.
The following are the requirements and assumptions for this problem:

• The non-profit organization operates in the way of event driven through out the
year.
• There are four types of users for this system – Administrator, Donor, Volunteer
and Other. First three types of user must have an account to login into the system.
• The others can view the various events and programs hosted in this organization,
and can choose to create an account to become a donor or volunteer.
• An administrator can create and maintain (modify and/or delete) the accounts for
everybody in the system including other administrators. All administrators will
have equal privileges.
• The administer will be able to do some simple data analysis and reports. (Example:
the total amount of a donor’s contribution to the organization in year 2020)
• The donor will be able to make restricted donation to a certain event/program or
unrestricted donation. The donor can also simple attend an event without make
any contribution.
• The volunteer can register to help an event at certain time slot or help program
activities.
• An event can be associated with zero, one or more programs.

The following minimal set of functionalities must be implemented:
• Provisions to add, search, remove, modify, and view different types of users
except “the others”.
• Provisions to add, search, remove, modify, and view an event or program.

A graphical user interface must be developed for this software. The interface must
consist of multiple screens for different tasks. For example, there should be a
welcome screen to start with which displays the various functionalities of the
2
software. If one chooses to login or register to the system, there must be a separate
window/screen that displays the requested information. The number of screens, the
screen layout, the type of information to be displayed etc. all depend on your design.

You must implement all the functionalities mentioned above. You are required to
associate a database with your product.
