BEEx is a Free/Libre/Open (FLO) project of [http://www.sarapisfoundation.org The Sarapis Foundation] that '''helps people raise the resources they need to do what they want'''.  BEEx.org is a deployment of the [http://github.com/beexsvn/Beex.org BEEx code] provided by our foundation.  Donations through BEEx.org go directly into registered organizations' Paypal accounts and we take '''no transaction fees'''.

==BEEx for Organizations==

BEEx is an easy to use [[constituent empowerment]] fundraising tools that helps folks raise money and awareness for your organization by saying what action they'll perform if a certain amount of money is raised for your organization.  To get started, simply register your organization on BEEx.org and your staff and supporters will be able to start their own personal fundraisers, create their own multi-participant fundraising activities and create create project-based fundraising pages.

The money raised for your organization through BEEx goes directly into your organization Paypal account.  We never touch it, we take no transaction fees, and registration is free.

==BEEx for Fundraisers==

BEEx allows you to raise money for your favorite organizations by performing individual and group challenges.  Our tools are easy to use and  absolutely free.  To start, simply declare what action you’ll perform if a certain amount of money raised for the organization of your choice.  Once you’ve answered a few short questions, you’ll have your very own challenge page, complete with a donation button, fundraising meter and access to blog and social media promotion tools.  You can also create group fundraisers (clusters) which work great for events like charity walks.

==Participate==

The best way to create a good product is to use it yourself, so we're asking developers to use BEEx to build BEEx.  Simply join [http://www.beex.org/index.php/cluster/view/30 the BEEx cluster] and explain what action you'll perform if a certain amount of money is raised for the Sarapis Foundation.  If we like what you're doing, we'll contact you, help raise funds and then pay you to fulfill your challenge.  If you have any questions/comments/concerns, please don't hesitate to contact the folks at sarapis foundation dot org.

=BEEx 2.0=

BEEx 2.0 has been developed by a single coder.  Version 2.01 is currently underway and should be completed before March.  If you'd like to participate, please contact devin at beex dot org.  

==Tweaks==

Reverse the order of 'activity' and 'supporter' feeds on organization profiles so that the newest items appear first. 

Allow organizations to 'retire' old challenges and clusters - meaning they disappear from the organizations profile but not our database and can be brought back.

[[BEEx v2.1]]


==Proposed Features for 2.1==

'''RSS feeds for challenges and clusters'''

'''Add Projects'''

Organizations can create project pages with the following information:
*Project Description
*Metrics (Optional)
*News Feeds
*Tasks
*Fundraisers
*Projection/Budget
*Links

'''Cluster Types'''

Different types of clusters
*Challenges are clusters where people say they'll do x if $y is raised.  X can include participating in a task, throwing an event or creating their own cluster.
*Events are templates for creating an event page, selecting ticket prices, (optional) selecting a benefiting project and promoting the event through widgets and a lightweight (500 invites at a time?) email marketing solution. 
*Tasks are created by individual organization admins and can be 'picked up' by cluster participants.  The admin must certify the challenge was met for the task transaction to take place.

==Proposed Features for the Future==

'''Subscription Credits'''

When a user subscribes to an organization, they earn credits that they can allocate to that organization's projects or spend them on challenges and events benefiting the organization.
