# How AI Automation Saved 20 Hours Per Week for a Small NGO
For small NGOs, administrative tasks can consume precious time that should be spent on the mission. This is the story of how KindMinds volunteers partnered with a youth education NGO to transform their donor management process.
## The Challenge
The NGO was spending 20+ hours weekly on manual donor data entry, sending thank-you emails, and generating reports. With a small team of 3 staff members, this meant nearly one full-time equivalent was lost to administrative work.
## The Solution
A team of 3 volunteer developers built a custom AI-powered system that:
- Automatically extracts donor information from multiple sources
- Generates personalized thank-you emails using AI
- Creates real-time dashboards for tracking donations
- Sends automated reports to stakeholders
## The Impact
After implementation, the NGO reduced administrative time by 85%, freeing up resources to expand their educational programs. They now serve 30% more students with the same staff size.
> "KindMinds volunteers didn't just build software—they gave us back the time we needed to focus on changing lives." - NGO Director
## Technology Stack
The volunteers used React, PostgreSQL, and Lovable AI to build a modern, maintainable solution that the NGO can easily manage.
