Having experienced impressive results from major gifts, groups now see that sustainable funding is within their reach. Each group's needs are different: unrestricted funds, major gifts, capital, or endowment.

In the highly hands-on Benevon Advanced Sustainability Workshop, Benevon provides coaching and non profit consulting to each group to customize the next level of implementation, focusing on specific financial benchmarks. Groups at this level may choose to attend up to two Advanced Sustainability Workshops per year, to keep their major gifts strategy, cultivation, and asking processes fresh and focused.

Your team will learn to:

• Design your customized plan for fulfilling on the next level of measurable benchmarks in your ten-year Sustainable Funding Plan.
• Build and refresh your ever-growing list of Multiple-Year Giving Society Donors^™, keeping them personally engaged in your work so they will be ready to give to your larger campaigns.
• Design your campaign for major gifts, capital, or endowment.
• Identify, cultivate, and ask for major gifts, naturally.
• Retool and restructure your team and development staff to ensure non profit sustainability and financial success.

• Enrolled in the Five-Year Sustainable Funding Program.
