As a person who cares about good causes, I want to be able to search for charitable organizations that are recommended by others, as well as post my own, so that I can raise awareness and increase donations for the causes I care most about.
This is a MERN stack web application that allows users to post the charitable organizations that they care about most and want to raise awareness for. Our goal was to make this a much more personal experience for users, versus just your typical search engine. Users are also able to search through other’s recommendations, comment on the organizations posted, and are offered a quick and simple way to donate to each of them.
**Comment functionality is set up, but not fully functional at this time. This was included in our "future development ideas".
