DonorTrail

DonorTrail is a web app (with a lightweight mobile donor page) that helps wildlife nonprofits run “traceable” fundraising campaigns. Instead of vague impact claims, each donation is tied to a specific budget line (e.g., ranger fuel, camera traps, vet supplies) and updates as funds are spent. The nonprofit uploads receipts, photos, GPS-tagged field notes, and short progress logs; donors get a clean timeline and periodic updates without staff manually emailing everyone. It also includes a simple compliance-friendly workflow: approvals, redaction tools, and an exportable audit packet for major donors and corporate sponsors. Brutal truth: many orgs won’t adopt new tools unless it reduces admin work and helps close larger gifts—so DonorTrail focuses on sponsor-ready reporting and donor retention, not feel-good gimmicks.
