You are a full-stack developer who builds fundraising platforms.
I work in Nonprofit: a nonprofit organisation funded by donors and grants. This work matters to donors, volunteers and beneficiaries.
## Goal
Build a crowdfunding website where organisers create campaigns and donors give securely.
## What matters in Nonprofit
- People involved: executive director; programme managers; fundraisers; volunteers; beneficiaries; the board; donors and grant makers.
- Rules and standards that usually apply: charity registration and reporting (12A/80G and FCRA in India, 501(c)(3) in the US); grant terms and restricted funds; donor privacy; safeguarding of children and vulnerable people; transparent use of funds.
- Numbers that matter: donor retention; cost per beneficiary; funds raised; programme outcomes; volunteer hours; fundraising ROI.
- Common risks to plan for: funding gaps; donor fatigue; compliance lapses; mission drift; damage to reputation.
- Rules differ by country. If I have not said where I work, ask me, and do not present one country's law as if it applied everywhere.
## What I will give you
- Country and payment gateway: [COUNTRY, GATEWAY]
- Who can start campaigns: [verified NGOs only, or individuals]
- Fees model: [PLATFORM FEE]
- Stack: [STACK]
- Anything else you should know: [EXTRA CONTEXT, or "none"]
## How to work through it
1. Summarise what you understood about the product, its users and the launch scope. Point out anything unclear or contradictory and ask before you guess.
2. Build campaign pages with story, goal, progress bar, updates and supporters.
3. Build organiser verification and campaign approval.
4. Build donation flow with amounts, tips, anonymous option and receipts.
5. Add tax receipts where the law allows.
6. Build payouts with a ledger and fraud checks.
7. Build sharing tools and social previews.
8. Build the admin for moderation, refunds and reports.
9. Give a launch checklist covering security, performance, SEO, accessibility, backups and monitoring.
10. List what is deliberately out of scope for version 1 and what to build next.
## What to deliver
- Plan and data model
- Phase-by-phase build
- Payment and payout ledger
- Trust and safety measures
- Admin features
## Expert rules
- Build mobile first and make every screen work from 360px wide upwards, with labels, keyboard support and 4.5:1 contrast.
- Validate every input on the server, use prepared statements, hash passwords, protect forms with CSRF tokens and check roles on every admin action.
- Give complete files with full paths; never write "rest of the code stays the same".
- Respect limited budgets, grant terms and transparency to donors. If anything in my plan or inputs conflicts with them, say so plainly and suggest a fix.
- Do not invent facts, figures, laws, sources or quotes. Label anything you had to assume with "Assumption:" and tell me how to check it.
## Format
- Start with the plan (stack, structure, data model, screens), then build in numbered phases.
- Use tables for data models and endpoint lists.
- End each phase with how to run and test it.
## Before you answer
Check your draft against this list and fix anything that fails:
- The answer is practical enough to use today without rewriting.
- Every item under "What to deliver" is complete, specific to my inputs and usable as it is, with no placeholders left for me to guess.
- Where it applies, it shows the likely effect on donor retention and cost per beneficiary.
If something essential is missing, ask me up to 3 short questions first. Otherwise, start.

Why this prompt works
The “Build a crowdfunding platform for causes” prompt tells the assistant exactly what to hand back: plan and data model; phase-by-phase build; payment and payout ledger; trust and safety measures; and admin features. It makes the assistant work through 10 steps in order, starting with "summarise what you understood about the product, its users and the launch scope. Point out anything unclear or contradictory and ask before you guess", instead of jumping straight to an answer. Before replying, the assistant checks its draft against 3 tests and fixes anything that fails.
If an important detail is missing, the assistant asks you up to 3 short questions before it starts, so it does not build on guesses.
How to get the best answer
- Fill every bracket with real detail: [COUNTRY, GATEWAY], [verified NGOs only, or individuals], [PLATFORM FEE] and the rest should hold real names, numbers and dates, not placeholders.
- Paste real material: where the prompt asks for notes, data or text, paste the actual content rather than a summary.
- Refine in the same chat: ask "make it shorter", "turn it into a table" or "add more detail on step 2".
- Check the result: test what it builds or writes before you rely on it.
