New Site Helps Low Income Individuals Advance Towards Financial Stability
Small dollar donors can select the individuals they want to help at benevolent.net
Benevolent is a social networking site designed to foster individual giving to meet individual needs - connecting those who face a hurdle along their path to stability and success with those who wish to help. Benevolent breaks new ground by providing the ease of personal connection coupled with the security of a trusted validation process.
A local philanthropic startup, Benevolent - which is a not-for-profit organization - launched its pilot in early December across the Chicago area. Benevolent is partnering with direct-service nonprofits across the area to identify, validate, and manage the meeting of needs for low income individuals who face specific one-time challenges.

“I always say I’m a Social Worker first. As we develop the Benevolent platform and community, though, I’ve had the opportunity to bring both my social service background as well as my MBA skills to bear. If we can use these two competencies and focuses to bring support to core needs for individuals, we’ll have achieved something both remarkable and sustainable.”
