… helping charities do what they’re good at.

• When you donate directly to a charity either by cash or check, it costs money for the charity to process that donation. In fact, charities spend millions of dollars a year processing donations and generating receipts.
• Every cent they spend on administrative tasks is money that doesn’t go directly to their social missions.
• Through our program, recipient charities pay a small transaction fee which amounts to a fraction of what they would otherwise spend to process funds – getting more of your money to the programs you support.
• Causes prefer the Benevity model because it vastly reduces administrative work, at the lowest processing rate in the industry; minimizes lost donation checks; and lets them focus on what they’re good at – facilitating funding for vulnerable communities around the world.
