What’s the difference between Alaya by Benevity and Benevity?
Alaya by Benevity is part of the Benevity ecosystem, with each platform serving different engagement needs through distinct pools of corporate clients:
- Donations: Managed and disbursed only through the Benevity Causes Portal.
- Volunteering: Volunteer opportunities can be published on both the Benevity Causes Portal and Alaya by Benevity. Publishing on Alaya extends the reach of your volunteer opportunites by connecting them with additional corporate clients who are exclusively signed up on Alaya.
While Alaya and the Benevity Causes Portal remain separate platforms, nonprofits can use both to maximize their exposure and build connections with a broader network of corporate partners.
