NGO Donation and Volunteer Management System – Python Flask Mini Project

Before you download

NGO Donation and Volunteer Management System (KindBridge) is a web-based mini project developed using Python Flask, SQLite, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The system provides a centralized platform for managing NGO donation campaigns, donor contributions, volunteer opportunities, and community participation. The application includes a modern responsive landing page, secure user registration and login, a personalized dashboard, donation campaign listings, demonstration donation records, volunteer opportunity management, volunteer registration, and user profile management. Users can explore available NGO campaigns, record simulated donations, register for volunteering opportunities, and track their participation through an organized dashboard. KindBridge demonstrates full-stack web application development, user authentication, database operations, CRUD functionality, and the management of social service activities. This project is suitable for VTU 5th Semester BCS586 Mini Project students from Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) and Information Science and Engineering (ISE). The project package includes Python Flask source code, a mini project report from Abstract to References, an editable presentation, and project interface screenshots. Important: This is an educational demonstration application. Donation records are simulated, and the system does not process real financial transactions.

Getting started

STEP 1: Download the NGO Donation and Volunteer Management System source code ZIP.

STEP 2: Extract the ZIP file into a folder.

STEP 3: Open the extracted project folder in Visual Studio Code.

STEP 4: Open the VS Code terminal.

STEP 5: Create a virtual environment:

python -m venv .venv

STEP 6: Activate the virtual environment on Windows:

.venv\Scripts\activate

STEP 7: Install the required dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

STEP 8: Run the Flask application:

python app.py
