This is the Elixir and Phoenix backend API for codecorps.org.
Code Corps is an open source platform for building and funding public software with massive social impact.
Our goals:
- Connect people - Match developers and designers, project managers and marketers – any and every talent – to ambitious projects that need their help.
- Provide support - Educate and train, develop and encourage people who build public software. Help projects be successful and people to do their best work.
- Fund projects - Crowdfund ongoing work and keep funders engaged in projects and connected to the teams they're supporting.
- Develop new tools - Help people collaborate on, organize, and even distribute their work. Listen closely to hear what needs built, and then build it.
We'd love to have you contribute to Code Corps directly!

CONTRIBUTING.md. - Then check out some GitHub issues to see where you can help out.
