Last Responder Scheduler - Donation

$1

The Last Responder Scheduler (LRS) will be a tool that enables synagogues to make requests and individuals to self-schedule to fill shmirah shifts and taharah teams. The scheduler will have four levels -- individuals, synagogues, communities, and administrator -- and will facilitate registration, requests, request fulfillment, and reminders.

The LRS will work on any device including computers, laptops, tablets, and smart phones using email or text messaging. Synagogues will be able to state their requirements. Individuals will be able to offer their services to appropriate synagogues.

The beta test for the scheduler was developed and used extensively in the Austin Texas Jewish community for the last 13 years. It's time for it to become an adult! We intend to increase the functionality of the system and enable a North American rollout before June of 2019.

We need to raise $15,000 by December 31, 2018 to make this project happen. Will you help us raise the money needed?

You may donate any amount you wish. Just fill in the quanitity field below with the amount.
