Non-Profit Site with Branding

I've been searching till I get carpal tunnel. I need a site for a client that:
1. Has a user membership subscription area
2. A simple profile page for that user
3. Accepts and tracks donations
It's for a regional non-profit site.
I've found sites that do this but you can't brand them with your own logo - you can basically sign up individually. I need to be able to run the site with all the services myself either standalone (PHP driven) or using their service with a subscription fee myself.
Has anyone heard of such a thing?
Thanks!

Use this for donations: http://www.artez.com/what-we-do

I have never used it but it looks good and Free The Children is a very large charity so I am sure if they are using it for all of their donations it must be good. You can always contact the company (artez if you still arent convinced, they might be able to give you details more specific to your cause). You can see it in use by Free The Children at https://secure.e2rm.com/registrant/d...LangPref=en-CA

As far as the other part you can use phpbb forums and then use a CMS with it for the front page and that will also give members a login system and let them have a small profile. You can add your layout and logo onto it. Its free, easy to use, and uses PHP as you asked.

vbulletin is another forum choice you can use and I believe it comes packaged with a CMS as well, although vBulletin is not free.

Hope that helps

Thanks for all your help. There are a lot of good companies that will process donations online but is there a portal suite of some kind that will allow you to host your own donation processing service?

im sure if you look online you can find one. Just search on google. You probably wont find a script designed specfically for donations but you can probably find a Online Store script that is designed to sell items. You can use this and just "sell" them the donation.

I would suggest against using any script you find on the internet because it might no be secure. I know that personally I wouldnt feel comftorable knowing that the credit card numbers of those people are my responsibility. Thats added liability and if you arent good enough at coding to make your own script you probably arent good enough to take all the steps to protect their numbers.

Just be on the safe side, remove yourself from the equation and go with someone who does this for a living and has a proven trackrecord.

You can still use phpbb or vBulletin for you site, just have the user sent to artez when you are ready to take the donation.

Check out Joomla. There are components that will do everything that you have said.
