Benevity's platform and donation/disbursement model makes giving easy, secure, cost-effective, and truly global—no matter how large or small the donation is. We work with third-party charitable foundations around the world that use donor-advised funds to receive and process donations and disburse grants to nonprofits with consideration of donor advice. By working with these foundations, we facilitate broad nonprofit choice, deliver real-time tax receipts (where applicable), and follow strict legal compliance.
