Benevon: Non Profit Fundraising, Training, & Consulting
 & 

Our first event was very successful. We had 250 guests, 127 gave, and it was $110,000 over the five years. People found the experience to be so rewarding, a lot of our Table Captains asked if they could do it again this year.

Registration
This workshop is open only to members of the Five-Year Sustainable Funding Program. Workshops are limited to fifteen teams. A team consists of up to eight participants from the same organization (or from the same office or chapter if part of a larger organization). Teams consisting of individuals from multiple offices within a given organization are not suitable for the customization and implementation of this model. Benevon does not accept registrations from such teams.

Workshops fill up quickly on a first-come, first-served basis. We encourage you to register early. Your deposit is nonrefundable and will officially reserve your place. Please do not register if you have any questions about your ability to attend and participate fully in the workshop. Given the limited number of participants, we ask that only people who are serious about implementing the Benevon Model consider applying.
