As a new pastor in a small church, I was overwhelmed by the responsibility of managing our benevolence fund. This course gave me a clear, step-by-step guide to not only comply with CRA regulations but also to run a compassionate and transparent program.

We've always had a benevolence fund, but it wasn't as structured or transparent as it should have been. This course helped me revamp our entire process—everything from assessing needs to reporting requirements. I'm proud to say that we now have a comprehensive benevolence policy, and our donors and beneficiaries have more confidence in the way we operate. The course has made a tangible difference in how we serve our community.
