Hello All,
I hope that everyone is staying safe in this time of crisis.
My nonprofit organization is working on developing a mobile app. Since we are a nonprofit we cannot afford to pay an app developer so the task has fallen to myself to try and develop something that will meet our needs.

For out of the box solution.
Survey123 (or Collector) would be a good fit for capturing the information in the field.
Explorer can provide a read only version of the map for use in the field (low or no cost).

Hello Garrett,
It sounds like from two main functionalities that you have outlined, it would be a combination of our Map Viewer template and Quick Report template, or they could also be separate apps to minimize customization work that you need to do.
Our templates are easily configurable, so there is no need to have developer skills to configure them, please take a look at this case study by one person GIS department with no developer skill that can produce an app in both Apple AppStore and Google Play Store, Clean Up San Juan | AppStudio for ArcGIS Case Study | Esri. This case study is fairly similar to your scenario, where they are using our Quick Report template to do a data collection app, and then simply use Operations Dashboard for ArcGIS to show the features and status on the map.
This is the video on how to configure the Quick Report template, and this is the video on how to configure the Map Viewer template.
Although, if there are few missing functionalities in our templates, you would need to open the source code of the templates and code them. With that being said, it is doable, we have a lot of samples and tutorials, and feel free to send us your questions.
I hope this is helpful,
Erwin
Thank you both.
Mark,
I have contacted ESRI support about the nonprofit program.
Erwin,
Thank you for the suggestions on the templates to use and the case study. I will check them out in the coming week(s). Things are pretty upended in our world right now.
Thanks again and I will let you know if I have any questions.
Garrett
