Benevolent is an online platform focused on helping low-income individuals so they can move forward towards a better situation for their families. Benevolent uses a crowd-giving model raising funds for needs such as bus fare during the first few months of a new job, furniture for a new apartment after homelessness or domestic violence, a certification class to qualify for a better job, and other one-time needs. By giving people the chance to tell their own stories - in partnership with nonprofits nationwide - together we work towards individual success.
