Monte: I noticed you mentioned web2py; that would be my recommendation.
You also mention different features being available to different
users; perfect use-case for web2py's built-in RBAC.
Scalability: Go with Postgres, MySQL; or considering how much data
you're talking about, even SQLite would be a close enough fit!
Another advantage of sticking to the web that hasn't been mentioned so
far is agnostic interoperability.
E.g.: you can CRUD on your TV (e.g.: if it runs Android); or on your
phone (e.g.: if you use twitter-bootstrap; which web2py comes with out
of the box; but is usable in any framework)
Web2py does seem pretty attractive in that it seems to come with a lot
of functionality rolled in already. It seems to be pretty easy to
deploy... since this would be more of a case where the volunteer match
directors are not necessarily computer gurus, and something that can
literally run from a USB stick on nearly any computer has its benefits.
I've seen some examples (I think) of twitter-bootstrap in some other
demos of flask, and it looked reasonably attractive without being too
over the top. web2py's DAL seems fairly straight-forward too. Looks
like I may have to get more fluent in CSS & javascript, though...
