Getting other people to help with this will have a lot to do with the
quality of the design and associated documentation.  Since this is
non-profit and you intend to make it all public, you should put the
schematic, board layout, and other relevant documentation on a web page
where people can peruse it and decide if they want to go anywhere near this
project.

What logic is there other than the programming?  Is there a FPGA or
something?

How small?  Does it completely proclude professional help?  Real numbers
would be much more useful.  You could put the whole thing out there and say
here is what needs to be done and here is how much we'll pay for it upon
completion.  Maybe you'll get some bites, maybe not.  Since the project
isn't a secret you've got little to lose.

This information doesn't make sense without the context of the schematic, a
description of the high level logic of the device, what PIC you are using,
etc.

If the design and documentation are good, people might be willing to jump in
for at least some pieces.  For example, I could possibly get the basic
template of a PIC project together with any appropriate canned modules we
already have if I can do it in a hour or two.  On the other hand, if the
design is a mess, the documentation nonexistent or poor, or the
specification unclear then I'll quickly find something better to do.
