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.
