We doubled the amount of our annual fundraising to almost $500,000 to launch an expansive and aggressive technology plan for our faculty and students. I can honestly say that without the Benevon training, I would have spent months trying to develop a process for focused fundraising, and I doubt that we would have had the results that we experienced. Benevon offered a clear model that was easy to implement because it is simply connecting donors to your mission.
