====================
 

	
 
[Software Freedom Conservancy](https://sfconservancy.org/) is leading an
 
[effort to create accounting software for non-profit organizations](https://sfconservancy.org/campaign/).
 

	
 
Conservancy welcomes the help of anyone who is interested in this issue to
 
design and develop this software.  Initially, during Phase 0 of this project,
 
design and develop this software.
 

	
 
BTW, we're [[hoping to participate in GSoC 2014|GSoC2014Ideas]].  We think
 
there are enough ideas for probably only one, maybe two, students.
 

	
 
## Phase 0
 

	
 
Initially, during Phase 0 of this project,
 
Conservancy is doing the following things:
 

	
 
- [Writing a tutorial on a Ledger-CLI setup for fiscal sponsor 501(c)3 organizations](https://gitorious.org/ledger/npo-ledger-cli/).
 
- [[Finding and evaluating existing Free Software accounting systems|ExistingProjects]].
 
- [[Writing use cases for non-profit accounting|UseCases]].
 

	
 
## Phase 1
 

	
 
Phase 0 is nearly complete, and in Phase 1, we plan to:
 

	
 
- [Create an REST API for basic double-entry accounting, currently using Ledger-CLI as a backend](http://npoacct.sfconservancy.org/accounting-api/)
 
- Add functionality to that API that already exists in the [documented Ledger-CLI setup for NPO's](https://gitorious.org/ledger/npo-ledger-cli/).
 
- Create various reports.
 
- Create various reports using that API, to flush out improvements that are needed.
