Problem
Donations, sponsorships and reforestation data lived in disconnected tools. There was no direct loop between donation, planted tree and donor reporting.
Baseline
Manual donation tracking, static reports, no donor self-service, no traceable link between income and impact.
Architecture
Tech stack
Solution
Incoming webhooks are processed idempotently; every donation is mapped to a concrete reforestation project and a tree count.
Donors see in the portal: amount donated, assigned project, planned trees, planting status, field updates.
Structured project updates (text + image) flow through a single editor, are versioned, and are embedded as HTML into donor emails.
Automation flows
APIs & integrations
| Service | Purpose | Method |
|---|---|---|
| Payment-Provider | Donation webhooks | Webhook (HMAC) |
| Email-Provider | Confirmations, updates, reports | REST |
| Storage | Project images, receipts | S3-kompatibel |
Data flow
Payment webhook → edge function (verify + idempotent) → Postgres (donation, assignment) → realtime to admin → donor email with portal link → portal reads live from Postgres.Outcomes & targets
Strictly separated between verified measurements, declared targets and qualitative observations. No projections, no estimated numbers.
Measurement pending live operation and analysis.
Outcome
A previously manual NGO operation became a data-backed platform that ties every individual donation to a planting and gives donors credible, traceable impact.
Interface view
Real admin and portal views are shown on request under NDA. Anonymised mockups can be added here via CMS.
Technical learnings
Idempotency on payment webhooks is mandatory — providers deliver events multiple times.
A single dedicated update editor is 10× more valuable than a generic CMS when content ends up in emails.
Donors trust live data more than annual PDF reports.
