NPO Accounting Software Project
====================
[Software Freedom Conservancy](https://sfconservancy.org/) is leading an
[effort to create accounting software for non-profit organizations](https://sfconservancy.org/npoacct/).
Current Status
==============
We're currently planning a Reimbursement and Payment Request system. We
believe this is a relatively standalone component that other organizations
could start using quickly. Check out the
[[requirements document|Reimbursements/Requirements]] and let us know if
you think anything's missing. Software development will begin soon.
