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. Benevity reduces manual administration costs by aggregating payments to each organization across all clients and donors, as well as automating payments and donor tax receipt acknowledgments in a scalable global model.

Benevity is a monolithic software application that can be edited based on client needs, allowing users to create accounts, customize logos, and update the software. Every aspect of the donation process, including offers, duration, cost, limits, and conditions, can be tailored based on the client’s requirements.
