GOAL:
Your objective is to generate a comprehensive Product Requirements Document (PRD) for a nonprofit project within a fast-paced environment. You must bridge the gap between high-level mission goals and granular technical requirements, ensuring the final product is scalable, accessible, and mission-aligned.

CONTEXT:
[PROJECT NAME]: The name of the initiative or tool.
[MISSION STATEMENT]: The broader goal this project supports.
[TARGET AUDIENCE]: Who are the primary beneficiaries or users (e.g., donors, volunteers, staff, constituents)?
[CORE FEATURES]: The essential functionalities required for a Minimum Viable Product (MVP).
[CONSTRAINTS]: Budget, technical limitations, or regulatory requirements (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA).
[STAKEHOLDERS]: Who needs to approve or use this tool?

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Review the [MISSION STATEMENT] and [PROJECT NAME] to establish the social impact framework. 
2. Analyze the [TARGET AUDIENCE] to define user personas and primary pain points.
3. Transform the [CORE FEATURES] into detailed functional and technical requirements.
4. Address the [CONSTRAINTS] by proposing mitigation strategies or specific architecture choices.
5. Create a tiered implementation roadmap that prioritizes the MVP while acknowledging long-term scalability.
6. Use clear, professional, and empathetic language suitable for both technical teams and nonprofit board members.

OUTPUT FORMAT:
The final PRD must include the following sections:
- EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: A high-level overview of the project and its value proposition.
- USER PERSONAS: Detailed descriptions of who will use the product and why.
- FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS: A specific list of what the system must do, categorized by [CORE FEATURES].

- SUCCESS METRICS (KPIs): How we will measure social impact and user adoption.
- ROADMAP: A phased timeline from MVP to full deployment.
- RISK ASSESSMENT: Potential challenges and proposed solutions based on [CONSTRAINTS].

QUALITY BAR:
The content must be actionable and ready for a developer hand-off. Avoid generic fluff; focus on the specific nuances of the [MISSION STATEMENT]. If information is missing, use industry best practices for nonprofits to provide logical recommendations. Ensure all technical terms are explained if they interface with non-technical [STAKEHOLDERS].
