Abstract
An automated system and method for philanthropists to gain access to projects and organizations of interest and, if desired, for projects and organizations to gain access to philanthropists or philanthropic or other funding. The system is remotely accessible so that donor, organization and project managers or team members, and others can gain access to the system from disparate locations, such as through an intranet or the Internet. The system provides tools for organizations to manage information about themselves and projects with which they are connected or in which they are interested. It also provides tools for donor users to manage information about themselves and entities in which they have donated or that they are monitoring, and tools to find an associate themselves with those and other entities. The system provides security features and provides a topology that limits outside access to underlying system data and data facilities. The system is also structured to allow limited access to the public in general in order to promote the system and its use. The system facilitates methods of use that can provide methods of revenue generation for access to or use of the system or methods of use of the system.
