Great Insights!

1. Building on top of Open Source
2. Github Actions-based automation.
3. Zero Server Cost using Github Pages
4. Open Sourcing the project itself to help build other non-profits on top of it!
5. Promoting Transparency while preserving the privacy of people involved through open source projects!

Great help! Such blogs are really a great source of inspiration to start projects! Building on top of open source projects really improves the projects developed.
