This section of the forum discuss 3 different kind of questions.
The first is concerned with the fundamental approach to helping people by either managing a project with all its complexities (imagine building a school) or providing specific help to an existing or growing project (imagine finding desks for the school). Fundraising is also a fundamental issue any organisations has to deal with since there is "no honey without money" (Thai saying!).
The second is about the role of the organisation. Should it solve the problem, which suppose its volunteers are qualified to solve the problem, or should it act as a link between those in need and those who can provide a solution which open the organisation to a much broader audience.
The third relate to the technical matter of knowledge management and the IT platform, backbone of the organisation.
