Problem Statement

Many donors contribute to charitable causes but struggle to track where their funds go and how they make an impact. Nonprofits also need an efficient way to provide real-time updates to donors while managing campaigns effectively.

Solution Statement

Designed a donation-tracking dashboard that allows users to:

Track total donations made
Monitor recent donation history
View donation impact metrics (lives changed, goals reached)
Follow active fundraising campaigns
Check donation progress via visual indicators

Design Approach

User Research & Insights

I analyzed existing donation platforms to identify key user needs. Insights from users showed that they valued:

• Transparency: Clear data on how donations are being used.

• Real-time tracking: Ability to see donation progress and past contributions.

• Engaging visuals: Charts and numbers to make donation impact more tangible.

Wireframing & Prototyping

Started with low-fidelity wireframes to establish the dashboard structure, ensuring an intuitive layout. Then, I created a high-fidelity prototype in Figma, incorporating modern UI elements and interactive features.

Total Donations Made – Displays the total amount donated.
Number of Donations – Shows the total number of contributions.

2. Recent Donations Section

Status Indicators – Shows whether a donation is pending or completed.
Action Menu (Three Dots) – Allows users to interact (view details, generate receipts).

3. Donation Progress Tracker

A visual progress bar helps users see how much funding a campaign has received compared to its goal.
