Inspiration

We wanted to give people an easy way to find nonprofits locally and worldwide that tackle issues they are passionate about.

What it does

Allows people to connect with nonprofits. Bringing people together to make social impact by creating a network of opportunities.
People can select the topics they are most interested in and get a list of organizations that match up with their selections. They are entered into the iCims database. When organizers submit opportunities for volunteers or donations, people will be able to apply to those opportunities using their information.

How we built it

Languages and Services: PHP, MySQL, AWS, iCims API, HTML, CSS, jQuery, Javascript, Github

Challenges we ran into

Connecting to the AWS database and using iCims API

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Learning how to implement the AWS database services

What we learned

The different services that AWS offers, and how to connect to an API using PHP.

What's next for SoPact

We would like to build out a functional dashboard where users can edit their profiles and apply to opportunities. We would also like to create a portal for nonprofit organizers to create the opportunities and submit or edit their nonprofit organization.
