Express — Discovery and a Working Solution in Up to 12 Weeks

Express is a short, end-to-end engagement from Code for Israel: discovery to map the real need and define what to build, followed by implementation of the solution with your team.

Who it's for

Smaller non-profits with a limited team and no in-house tech capacity, facing one focused challenge their current tools cannot solve.

What you get

A practical, right-sized solution in real use — scoped, built, deployed and handed over within up to 12 weeks.

Express

Express is a short, end-to-end engagement. We begin with discovery to map the real need and define exactly what to build, then implement the solution with your team. One focused challenge, one clear outcome — completed within up to 12 weeks.

Smaller non-profits with a limited team and no in-house tech capacity, facing one focused challenge their current tools cannot solve. If your challenge is narrower in scope — and you cannot carry a long, multi-stage program — Express was built for you.

A practical, right-sized solution you actually use — not a report or a plan. Short cycles mean you see progress every week and shape the result as it is built, and a full handover at the end leaves your team able to run it on its own.

Up to 12 weeks, start to finish

Weeks 1–2

Discover

We map how your organization works today, find where the real bottleneck is, and define what the solution must do.

Define

We scope one focused solution with you: what is in, what is out, and how we will measure that it worked.

Build

Our volunteers build alongside your team in short cycles, so you see progress and shape the result as it grows.

Launch & handover

We deploy the solution, train your team, and hand over everything needed to keep it running.

Young Rheumatology Association

The Challenge

The association's information was scattered across many Excel files, with no overall picture of the community: how many members there are, where they live, who wants to volunteer and who can donate. Decisions about conferences and activities were therefore made without data.

The Solution

A management system on monday that centralizes the association's databases of members, volunteers, pharma companies and conferences. It also includes a structure for managing the annual program, conferences and budgets, task management, and management of the inquiries the association receives — with automations and a dashboard for management.

The Challenge

The organization was classifying by hand every inquiry arriving through the website and email, from parents and from job seekers alike. Mistakes crept in, and inquiries and CVs were not tracked in an organized way. The work rested on emails and on specific people, so inquiries were lost and information was missed.

The Solution

A system on monday that centralizes all incoming inquiries.

400% More Inquiries

Mothers for Mothers Association

The Challenge

Inquiries reached the association from many places: the website, email, Messenger, Instagram and Facebook. There was no single place that gathered them and made it possible to follow up on how each one was handled. Data from the branches, such as the number of volunteers, active mentorships and agreements with authorities, was also collected by hand in a semi-annual survey. The association therefore had no up-to-date picture, and found it hard to present its impact.

The Solution

A monday system was implemented to manage the association's inquiry processes, integrated with the organization's website and social channels, together with infrastructure for branch coordinator reporting and broad dashboards for the organization's management to track.

Impact

A rise of at least 400% in the number of inquiries reaching the association: from one or two a week to more than 10 a week.

The Challenge

Instructors were assigned to activities manually.

The Solution

An AI-based instructor matching system, built in Lovable. For each activity the system suggests three instructors who meet all the criteria, and when there is no full match it shows partial alternatives. In addition, the volunteer trained two of the organization's content developers to upgrade presentations using Claude Code.

The Challenge

A self-service 'Reservist Basket' hub where employers independently discover membership, explore services, and take their first step — reducing friction and lowering the barrier to participation.

The Solution

An AI bot built on the Base44 platform that gives employers of reservists fast, personalized answers, based on the experience accumulated on the subject together with dozens of leading companies in the economy.

About the Organization

The Yuri Stern Holistic Support Center provides complementary medicine and psychotherapeutic care to cancer patients. During the war it extended treatment to evacuees from the south and to people living with trauma.

The Challenge

There was no convenient way to match patients with volunteer therapists, and staff had to open a client record by hand for every person who reached out.

The Solution

A system to match treatment seekers with volunteer therapists, including loading the data and training the volunteers.

DonateIT

About the Organization

DonateIT connects families in need with donors and delivers food baskets to them. Its entire logistical and financial operation runs on a technology platform that also serves other nonprofits and organizations.

The Challenge

Communication with families relied on SMS, and uploading the data of many families was done manually. The organization wanted to upgrade its automation to cut staffing and logistics costs and reach more families.

The Solution

A bulk upload capability for family data and a WhatsApp bot for communicating with families, built on the platform’s existing server side.

CJD Foundation Israel

About the Organization

The CJD Foundation Israel advances research and treatment for Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, a rare and fatal neurodegenerative disease. Together with Soroka and Clalit it established a biobank of biological samples and data: 250 samples have been collected and shared with research worldwide, and more than 500 patient families are registered in its database.

The Challenge

All the foundation’s core processes ran manually in Excel: sample collection, coordination with Soroka, receiving research results and managing the biobank. As a result the foundation misses potential donors, does not track returning donors well enough, and the operations manager cannot dedicate time to additional projects.

The Solution

A monday system for managing the foundation’s processes, with automations for scheduling collection appointments, reminders for repeat donations and feedback forms. All information about each donor is centralized in a single donor record.

Keren Or Farm

About the Organization

Keren Or Farm is a mutual rehabilitation farm in Beit Berl, founded in 2017. It rescues and rehabilitates animals and uses them for emotional therapy with diverse populations through the mutual rehabilitation approach. It runs on 5 employees, about 20 freelancers and more than 200 volunteers, and cares for over 250 animals, dozens of patients and hundreds of visitors.

The Challenge

The farm depends on donations, calls for proposals and grants. Information about them was scattered and not always available or current, and most management was manual in Excel. As a result 10 to 15 hours a week went into preparing financial reports, and total donations fell 9% between 2023 and 2024.

The Solution

A monday system to manage and track every income source of the farm in one place: donations, calls for proposals, grants and revenue-generating projects. It lets the farm make decisions based on data.

Shomrei HaDerech

About the Organization

The Shomrei HaDerech initiative works to change Israel’s driving culture. It operates volunteers who report traffic offenses and former traffic police officers who review and classify the reports. A dedicated system forwards the relevant offenses to the police.

The Challenge

The team of about six had no real-time picture: how many reports came in, how many were reviewed, how many were sent to the police. That made bottlenecks hard to spot and problems hard to fix as they arose.

The Solution

Visual dashboards on Salesforce, connected to the reporting system through an API, showing the status of reports at every stage of the process in real time.
