I did a re-write of a website for a highly-rated charity organization. They solicit monies to fund orphanages, build homes, and sponsor individual children in one specific country.
They were changing processors and backend CRMs and it was a big project that I handled as the only dev in a small shop.
The transition went well and I didn't disrupt the millions in donations the site takes in each year.
My work was small compared to that of the volunteers in the organization, though. It's cool to see what you can do with code--really some powerful leverage we wield.
I also recently volunteered to do a digital project for a volunteer group I'm part of. I built a feature for their website that shows local River levels in a color-coded manner to determine if it's a good time to float or not.
The USGS data is hard to read, this makes it easier.
