The client approached us with the idea of creating the first charity platform in Russia that would unite users and NGOs on a single digital platform. The main goal was to simplify and enhance the transparency of the charity process so that donors could effortlessly make donations and NGOs could collect funds and demonstrate the effectiveness of their work. The client wanted to create a clear and accessible mechanism for donations while ensuring a high level of trust in the platform.

We understood that the project required a multifunctional system with a user-friendly interface that supports direct interaction between users and NGOs. Key tasks included integrating reliable payment solutions, developing tools for fund management, and verifying organizations on the platform to ensure transparency.

Our Solutions and Approach

1. Cross-Platform Application on React Native and Appocore SDK

To maximize the audience, we decided to use React Native and the Appocore SDK to create a mobile application. These technologies allowed us to implement a unified interface for iOS and Android users and ensure the stable operation of the application while reducing development and subsequent support costs.

2. Transparent Donation Process

After analyzing the needs of NGOs and users, we concluded that one of the main functions should be the integration of payment solutions for convenient and secure donations. We carefully selected payment systems, ensuring reliable operations and data protection. Additionally, we implemented tools for monitoring and withdrawing funds from NGOs' virtual accounts, maintaining a high level of transparency.

3. Administrative Functionality for NGOs

For successful management of NGO projects, we offered advanced tools that allow organizations to track the dynamics of donations and analyze collected funds for each project. This solution helped non-profit organizations effectively plan activities, and users to see real-time results of work, strengthening trust in the platform.

4. Verification and Moderation of NGOs

We discussed with the client the importance of user trust and concluded that it was necessary to implement an NGO verification system so that donors could be confident their donations would be used as intended. Our team developed a moderation system ensuring verification and confirmation of organizational data, creating a safe environment for users.

5. Unified Data Synchronization and Notifications

Understanding how important it is for users to have up-to-date data on project statuses and events, we implemented automatic data synchronization between the mobile application and web platform. Thanks to this, users can seamlessly switch between devices. A push notification system was also implemented, informing users about new projects and events, which supports active user engagement and helps NGOs attract more attention to their initiatives.

Functionality and Mechanics

To ensure convenient and secure interaction on the "I Want to Help" platform, we implemented a clear division of functions for each type of user and adapted them to the tasks of charity. The entire application mechanics focused on simplifying interaction and strengthening trust between users and non-profit organizations.

1. Registration and Authorization

Users can register using social networks or SMS, providing easy access. NGOs undergo additional verification to guarantee their authenticity. This supports transparency and security on the platform, forming a base of verified charitable organizations.

2. Donors: Donations and Subscription to Updates

Donors can easily find and support charity projects and subscribe to updates from selected NGOs. The platform supports several payment methods for user convenience and provides the ability to track personal donation history and receive notifications about new events, initiatives, or collection completions.

3. Project Management for NGOs

For NGOs, we created an administrative interface with full access to project management. Organizations can add, update, and publish projects with transparent displays of the collected and required amounts. The statistics section allows organizations to see the dynamics of receipts for each project, enabling analysis of effectiveness and planning based on collected data.

4. Moderation and Verification System

Each new organization undergoes mandatory verification to keep the platform reliable and transparent. The verification system ensures the checking of organizational data and their projects. This allows users to be confident in the authenticity of NGO goals and that donations will be used as intended.

5. Notifications and News

The integrated notification system allows NGOs to inform their subscribers about new projects, urgent needs, or achieved results. Push notifications support active user engagement, helping them stay informed about events and respond timely to organizational needs.

6. Data Synchronization

We implemented an automatic synchronization system between the mobile application and web platform, ensuring consistent and up-to-date data access. This allows users to switch seamlessly between devices and always receive current information about their donations and NGO activities.

The "I Want to Help" project represents a significant step toward digitization and increasing the accessibility of charity. The platform we developed opens new opportunities for NGOs, enhances interaction with donors, and makes the donation process simple and understandable. The platform became one of the first in Russia to combine all the needs of charitable organizations and donors in a single application, supporting transparency, trust, and convenience.

Our experience with NGOs and charity projects allowed us to accurately account for the needs of both organizations and users. We are confident that our product will make charity more accessible, creating a reliable channel for attracting funds and helping those in need.
