C4C | Berean Bible Church

The Berean Bible Church of Olathe, KS approached Coders4Charities with the need for a membership tracking application for up-to-date information on the members of the church. Adam Claxton, a deacon of the church, attended the event to get the team the adequate requirements they needed to build this application. This team was made up of a hobbyist, 2 Java developers, a C++ guy, and one .NET guy. The team made lots of strides to get the project done and many of the members had never touched ASP.NET or .NET Framework.

The project was based in ASP.NET 3.5 and the entire data layer was designed to use LINQ for SQL. The application was built from the ground up and had many reporting features added and Google Maps integration for the membership directory. Overall, this implementation was a phenomenal success, both for the team who received a lot of .NET experience they did not have before, and the church who can use this system to replace their current paper-based systems.

Registration is closed

A heart-felt Thank You to all charities who signed up this year! Unfortunately we can only accomodate a fixed number of charities because we are at max capacity at our venue. As a result, the Charity Registration is closed. We're truly sorry that we won't be able to help you this year, but please stay tuned for future events! In addition, we have received the number of participants needed to volunteer for this event, so Developer Registration has also been closed.

What people are saying...

"A lot of non-profits are truly crippled by inadequate technology – the wasted time, effort and money is ridiculous. Most non-profits are started by people with big hearts but with little or no business experience, so they don’t even know what’s out there. Coders4Charities will really make a big impact with this weekend of work."
-- Shandra Chapman, MFCAA

What is C4C?

Coders For Charities is a 3-day charity event that pairs charities and local software developers. Charities often do not have the funds to implement a new website or intranet or database solution. Software developers often do not volunteer for charities because their skills do not apply. This event is the perfect marriage of these two needs; software developers volunteering their time to help charities better serve their community though the latest technology!
