Laura Fixler,
Benevon coach, came to Benevon in 2005, relocating from New York, after
ten years of working and volunteering with various nonprofit

commitment to nurture and empower youth to live successful and happy
lives.
Before

organizations in Rochester, New York, most recently at a nonprofit that
treated dysfunctional families and children at risk of foster care
placement and emotional trauma. Through the intervention and support
provided by the organization's programs, children renewed their
self-esteem and knowledge that they mattered and could make a difference
in the world. She also volunteered with Leap into Literacy, a program

strengthen literacy and language skills.

and communities, and she feels that she can do this best by working as a
Benevon coach and supporting all types of nonprofits in achieving
financial sustainability so they can fulfill their missions in the
world.
Benevon trains
and coaches nonprofit organizations to implement a mission-based system
for •raising sustainable funding from individual donors. This
system ends the suffering about fundraising and builds passionate and
committed lifelong donors. The Benevon Model was developed by founder
