Use case
Build a Directory & Listings App for Your NGO
Most NGOs run on a stack of shared spreadsheets, a WhatsApp group and a shoebox of donation slips. When an auditor, a funder or the Income Tax portal asks for a clean record of who gave, who volunteered and who you served, that sprawl becomes a weekend of panic. Kashvi lets you describe the directory your non-profit actually needs in plain English and builds a working app around it: a real Postgres database, secure logins for your team, a live preview you can click, and downloadable code your trust owns outright.
A directory app for an NGO is not one list, it is three that have to talk to each other. Donors need a searchable record with contribution history and PAN details so you can issue 80G receipts. Volunteers need profiles, skills, availability and the events they showed up for. Beneficiaries need dignified, access-controlled records that hold the aid delivered without exposing sensitive data to the whole team. Kashvi wires these into linked tables from the start, so a donor who becomes a volunteer, or a volunteer who refers a beneficiary, is one connected record and not three copies you reconcile by hand.
What an NGO directory actually needs
- Donor directory with contribution history, PAN capture and one-tap 80G receipt generation for the financial year
- Razorpay and UPI donation collection built into the app, with donations logged straight against the donor record
- Volunteer roster with skills, availability, hours logged and the drives or programmes they joined
- Beneficiary listings with role-based access, so field staff see only their assigned cases and admins see the whole picture
- Programme and project pages that group donors, volunteers and beneficiaries under a single cause or grant
- CSV export and filtered reports for auditors, board meetings and FCRA or grant utilisation statements
How Kashvi builds it from a prompt
You do not open a database designer or write a single migration. You type what your organisation does and who you track, and Kashvi generates the schema, the sign-up and login flow, the forms and the list views. The preview appears live in the browser so you can add a test donor and watch the 80G receipt render before you commit to anything. Because it ships both a web app and real Android and iOS builds through React Native, your accounts volunteer can update donor records from a laptop at the office while a field coordinator marks beneficiary visits from a phone in a village with patchy signal. Everything writes back to the same real database.
"Build a donor management app where I record each donor's name, PAN, phone and donation amount, collect gifts via Razorpay, and generate an 80G receipt PDF for the financial year with one tap."
"Create a volunteer directory with profiles, skills, availability by weekday, and a log of which drives each volunteer attended, plus a WhatsApp-ready contact list per drive."
"Make a beneficiary registry for a scholarship programme where field staff can only see their assigned students, admins see everyone, and each record tracks aid disbursed with dates."
"Build a project listings app that groups donors, volunteers and beneficiaries under each grant, with a utilisation summary I can export as CSV for the funder."
Why ownership matters for a non-profit
Grant compliance, donor privacy and board scrutiny mean an NGO cannot afford to have its records trapped inside a proprietary tool that might raise prices or shut down. Kashvi hands you the full source code and a database you control, so a future tech volunteer or a small vendor can extend it without paying rent to anyone. If an AI generation fails to produce a working build, the credits are refunded, which matters when every rupee in your budget is accounted for to a donor. Pricing is in INR and payments run on Razorpay and UPI, so there is no dollar card or foreign gateway between you and getting started.
| The old way | With a Kashvi directory app |
|---|---|
| Donor list in one sheet, receipts typed by hand | Donor record and 80G receipt generated together |
| Volunteer contacts scattered across WhatsApp | Roster with skills, availability and attendance |
| Beneficiary data visible to everyone | Role-based access per field staff member |
| Audit prep means a weekend of reconciling files | Filtered CSV export in a few clicks |
Questions
Frequently asked
- Can it generate 80G donation receipts?
- Yes. You can build the donor form to capture PAN and contribution details, and add a one-tap action that renders an 80G receipt as a PDF for the financial year, tied to each donation record.
- How do we collect donations inside the app?
- Kashvi wires Razorpay and UPI directly into the app, so a donor can give and the contribution is logged automatically against their record without you re-entering anything.
- Can field staff and admins see different data?
- Yes. You can describe role-based access in your prompt, for example field coordinators seeing only their assigned beneficiaries while admins and board members see the full directory.
- Does it work on phones for field teams?
- It builds a web app plus real Android and iOS apps through React Native, so office staff use a browser and field volunteers use a phone, all writing to the same database.
- Do we own the data and the code?
- Completely. You get the full source code and a real Postgres database you control, with no proprietary runtime, so any future volunteer or vendor can extend it and you can export everything at any time.
- What happens if a build fails?
- If an AI generation does not produce a working app, the credits for that attempt are refunded, so a failed run never costs your organisation money.
