Raised by @miguelrios in Slack, people have been reaching out in need of website design and hosting services for their fundraising efforts. We may want to provide a way to easily spin up a website with all the necessary information, donation collection forms, and 503c documents, with a minimum amount of upfront effort.

I'm opening this issue in order to gather requirements before deciding the proper way to provide this service.

Aside from a basic website, I would like to know what specific needs they have. Are people redirecting to third party sites such as Generosity, Indiegogo, Facebook to collect donations? Or do we need to support arbitrary form embeds?

What are the requirements for properly hosting 503c documents?

Voy a llamar a Adrián (uno de los q pidió esto, creo q trabaja para una Congresista). A preguntarle todas las preguntas q tengalos. Lo usamos como nuestro customer. Esa de los docs es buena, ¿alguna otra pregunta q les venga a la mente?

Pregunta si tiene algun ejemplo de un site actual al cual quieren emular. En general esto es lo que necesitaria:

  • Dominio donde aparecerá la página (yo me puedo encargar de comprar el dominio si esto cae fuera de sus habilidades, pero al menos seria bueno que verifiquen que el dominio esta disponible primero, para eliminar back and forth)
  • Nombre de la iniciativa
  • Description de los esfuerzos
  • Logo?
  • Como ayudar (estan recogiendo fondos? a donde se redirige al usuario para donar, o cual herramienta tienen en mente para recoger fondos? o simplemente necesitan hosting para un listado de instrucciones de como ayudar, como en el caso de "call your senator" drives)?
  • Documentos para hosting
  • Por cuanto tiempo necesitan la pagina online? (Es mas para asegurarnos que esto no es un long term project, que esten conciente que en algun momento en el proximo mes tendriamos que hacer handover a algo mas apropiado para long term, e.g. not hosted on our servers)

@hramos are you referring to 501(c)(3) status for an organization?

@hramos, I can help guide you through the steps to set up a non-profit entity and then to apply for tax-exempt status for the entity. [email protected]
