application to maintain donors' account

["H.S." <hs.samix@gmail.com>]

Hello,

Somebody I know in a small non-profit organization has asked me if can 
help them setup an small system which will do basic accounting. All they 
require is that:
1. it maintain a database of donors
2. it maintain what those donors donated
3. and be able to produce yearly concise report who donated what and 
also print out a receipt at the end of an year for tax purposes on the 
total amount donated by each donor.

I am not familiar with accounting stuff so I thought of throwing these 
requirements at some lists for suggestions. Some things that come to my 
mind are: make a small Web application using mysql to enter/edit donor's 
information. Or use gnucash in some way. Or use openoffice.org with main 
merge in some way to talk to an mysql database or to a OOo spread sheet. 
But I guess better knowledgeable people in this field will be able to 
direct me properly.

Thanks.
