Benevon: Non Profit Fundraising, Training, & Consulting
 & 

We are very pleased with the Benevon fundraising model. It has changed the way we present ourselves to donors. We consider this to be “relationship” fundraising. We’re building relationships with our donors by sharing our personal and client stories and showing them first-hand and up close what we do. Once they experience the organization and the mission of the organization, they want to be a part of it. The process is not for sissies! You have to “work it” in order to achieve the results…but the outcome is dedicated donors who are passionate about the organization and who will provide sustainable funding for the organization for years to come.

Your next objective should be:

  • To secure the support of one board member who is excited about the model and agrees to present it to the rest of the board for their approval to adopt this approach and sign up for the Benevon curriculum.

Recommended next steps:

  • Identify at least one board member who has indicated an interest in helping you work toward sustainable funding. Often this is someone who has expressed frustration with your current fundraising "treadmill." This person cares deeply about your organization's mission and would love to help you get off that treadmill. Ideally, this is also a board member who is a leader on the board and whose future recommendation to participate in the Benevon curriculum would be well-received and respected.
  • Invite this board member to watch our free online video, Seventeen Minutes to Sustainable Funding, or attend an upcoming in-person introductory session.
  • Ask this board member to help you get the majority of the board on board by making a presentation at an upcoming board meeting.
