The Benevon Five-Year Sustainable Funding Program is at the heart of our work, which is about shifting the culture of nonprofit individual fundraising from entertaining and strong-arming one-time donors to engaging and developing relationships with passionate and committed lifelong donors.  

This will not happen in one year.

We believe that the ongoing process of engaging individuals who truly believe in the mission of the organization is the lifeblood of every strong, vital, and sustainable nonprofit.

Our Five-Year Sustainable Funding Program provides a proven pathway towards this goal. With annual workshops of successively advanced content and coaching customized to the needs of your organization, our skilled team guides your team of board, staff, and volunteers through the process of embedding the Benevon Model into the day-to-day culture of the organization.  

In keeping with our commitment to sustainable funding for all nonprofit organizations, Benevon has designed this special training and coaching package for groups serious about long-term non profit financial sustainability.

In the Benevon Five-Year Program, your organization will:

• Develop a customized and attainable ten-year Plan for Sustainable Funding with yearly benchmarks to track your success
• Attend a two-day workshop each calendar year with your team of seven to eight people and receive follow-up coaching (according to our prevailing workshop format each year)
• Send up to fifteen people (three people per year) to the Benevon New Team Member Intensive to bring them up to speed on the Benevon model for non profit fundraising, so long as they are all from the same local office as your original team and will be doing their fundraising together at one Ask Event^™
• Participate in four conference calls each year to connect all Sustainable Funding Program participants and discuss challenges and best practices of non profit fundraising
• Lock in our current tuition rates (an expected total savings of at least one year's full workshop tuition)
• Assure Benevon's commitment to support your organization in attaining sustainable funding
