Scouts

Overview

The Scout Donation Platform enables Scouts organisations around the world to crowdfund their projects. Think Kiva, Kickstarter, or GoFundMe, allowing local Scouts groups to pitch their specific project and gain support and funding through their community and the Scouts community world wide.

Solution

NextFaze worked with Scouts to develop the both front-end web application and back-end services. NextFaze started work on the project in 2016, with a final launch in September 2017. NextFaze took the web app from start to finish, creating wireframes and scoping the front end to implementation and deployment.

The Platform handles the entire lifecycle of project funding. It has customisable notifications, project creation email tutorials, payments with Stripe and PayPal. Members of the public can browse projects and choose to help fund those of interest.

In addition to the public facing web app, the platform includes a fully fledged administration portal for user management system, organisational administration, project approval workflows, and global system dashboards
