What it does

Benevolus provides the tools needed to create and manage donation campaigns, handle payments securely, and keep track of contributions. It's built to be straightforward for campaign organizers while offering a smooth experience for donors.

Our goal is to provide a platform with 0% platform fees, ensuring that donations go directly to the causes that need them most.

Tech stack

• Backend: Laravel framework
• Frontend: Next.js with HeroUI components
• Payments: Woovi and Stripe Connect for processing donations
• Infrastructure: Terraform and AWS for deployment

The Engine

Our engine is made with the following components:

• api: It provides a RESTful API with business operations.
• web: It provides a web interface for the RESTful API.
• backoffice: It provides a web interface for the RESTful API, but focuses on platform administration operations.
