Background: Multi-state non-profit needs to get more geeky. They connect
vulnerable, and sometimes volatile, folks with aid.

So, I've found a ton of "non-profit donor management" software, and lots of
"contact management" software (like salesforce), but nothing that seems to
fit right.

Here's how I understand the puzzle:
On the input end, somebody finds (for example) a dentist willing to do some
side work, so they get their name into the system, and their offered work.

On the storage end: It collects a huge DB of all kinds of offered resources.

On the output end, relatively computer illiterate people (who have been
doing this in spreadsheets, or their brains) connect a need with a donor.

So:
person A needs a babysitter
person B needs a chiropractor
person C needs a driver
person D needs a therapy session

person X looks up all those needs, and finds donors for each.

I'd hate to re-write a system that already existed, as it seems obvious
enough that it already *should* exist, but my google-fu hasn't helped.

Any suggestions of extant software, or things that are close?
