Sponsor portal for donors and investors

Overview

Feature Summary

  • The sponsor portal would be used to track the impact of funds provided by donors and/or investors in the MFI.  The donor/investor would be able to login to the portal and see detailed information on giving history, the current utilized portion of the funds, the loans that have been disbursed with the funds, the profiles of the clients to whom the loans belong, and impact tracking (if available).

Background and strategic fit

  • For institutions interested in providing transparent reporting to donors/investors, the sponsor portal would provide a scalable platform to do so, achieving greater depth with less manual report preparation.  Improving relations with donors/investors helps establish long-term access to funding to fulfill the organization's mission.

Feature Requirements

Requirements/User Stories

In this section provide as much detail as possible about the business processes and user stories the new feature would support as well as step-by-step instructions for how it would be used. When writing the step-by-step instructions you should consider all the different scenarios a user might encounter in working with the new feature. Typically these scenarios are broken down into two types. - primary and alternate flows.

First focus on documenting the primary flows - these are the most common ways a user would interact with a feature. 

Keep each user story concise and simple i.e. As a <type of user>, I want <some goal> so that <some reason>. These can broken down further into smaller more detailed user stories. Please see these resources for tips on writing good user stories
