The Business Challenge
Benevity is a software company that powers corporate giving, volunteering, and grant-making solutions. Part of Benevity's social mission is to help improve the way global charities access and become eligible for corporate giving programs and to modernize the way organizations process and receive donation funds.

Every aspect of the donation process, including offers, duration, cost, limits, and conditions, can be tailored based on the client’s requirements.
