I recently participated in the Colorado Springs Give Camp, which is a way for charities and other non-profit organizations to get customized solutions for their needs from professional developers. A group of volunteer professional developers meet over a weekend, and put in work to meet whatever software-related needs a non-profit organization may want. This time around, we made a website for Crossfire Ministries, as well as a solution for tracking donations and volunteers.
If you want to check out the work we did, you can see the old version of their website here: http://www.crossfireministries.com/cf_old, and the new one here: http://www.crossfireministries.com/.
If you like the style of the website, you have me to thank - I was in charge of the styling and templates, as well as designing the fancy banner across the top. However, most of the work was done by the rest of the volunteers, who moved the old content over and trained the Crossfire Ministries staff with the use of the software. The solution for managing the volunteers and donations was also done by a separate team, who especially deserve credit when their work is behind the scenes.
The website is powered by a very good open source, cross-platform ASP.NET website solution called MojoPortal. I can’t praise MojoPortal enough - it made it outrageously easy to get the basic framework of the website up and running.
If you want to join us at the next Give Camp, you can volunteer at the Colorado Springs Give Camp website: http://www.springsgivecamp.org/. And finally, a big thanks to News First 5, who covered the event: http://www.newsfirst5.com/videoplayer/?video_id=5579&categories=
