For more than two decades, The Benevolence Foundation has quietly served as a conduit between generosity and impact — helping donors transform valuable assets into life-changing charitable contributions. Today, that legacy steps into the digital age with the official launch of BENFO.org, the Foundation’s first comprehensive online platform.
This new website marks an important milestone in BENFO’s evolution — opening its doors to a wider audience of yacht owners, aircraft holders, and luxury motorhome enthusiasts who wish to make a difference in the lives of children and families in need.
A Foundation Built on Compassion and Vision
Founded by the D’Agnese Family in 2001, The Benevolence Foundation was established on the belief that generosity should have no limits — and that every asset, no matter how large, can become a vehicle for good. In 2015, the organization was officially awarded 501(c)(3) non-profit status, formalizing its mission to convert high-value asset donations into meaningful financial support for charitable causes.
Over the years, BENFO has built trusted relationships across the yachting, motorhome, and aviation industries, enabling donors to contribute unique assets such as yachts, planes, and luxury vehicles. Each contribution becomes part of a transformative process — one that turns the spirit of giving into tangible results for children in need.
Partnering with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital
At the heart of BENFO’s mission lies a commitment to children’s health and hope. A cornerstone of this mission is its support for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital — a world-renowned institution dedicated to advancing cures and means of prevention for catastrophic childhood diseases.
Through the generosity of donors, BENFO helps ensure that children receiving treatment at St. Jude never receive a bill for care, travel, housing, or food — because, as St. Jude reminds us, “all a family should worry about is helping their child live.”
Every yacht, aircraft, or vehicle donation handled through BENFO becomes part of that story — delivering real resources to a hospital that gives hope to children and families when they need it most.
A New Digital Era for Giving: The Launch of BENFO.org
While BENFO has operated successfully for years, 2025 marks a new chapter — the debut of BENFO.org, a dynamic, transparent, and educational platform that opens the organization’s mission to the world.
Visitors can now:
- Learn how asset donations are processed, evaluated, and converted into charitable funds.
- Understand the tax advantages and philanthropic benefits of giving through BENFO.
- Read inspiring stories of generosity and impact.
- Connect directly with the Foundation to begin their own donation journey.
The new site was designed to make the process of giving simple, transparent, and rewarding, while communicating the sincerity, professionalism, and integrity that have defined BENFO since its founding.
Designed and Developed by Evans Alliance
The new BENFO.org platform was conceived, designed, and developed by Evans Alliance — a full-service marketing and advertising agency based in New Jersey.
Evans Alliance worked closely with the BENFO leadership team to create a digital experience that mirrors the Foundation’s purpose: a balance of beauty, clarity, and compassion. The result is a user-friendly, mobile-responsive website that invites both seasoned philanthropists and first-time donors to explore, learn, and participate in BENFO’s mission.
From information architecture to storytelling and SEO optimization, Evans Alliance delivered a platform that ensures BENFO’s story — once known only within close industry circles — can now reach hearts and minds across the country.
How BENFO Works: Turning Generosity into Action
BENFO’s model is simple yet powerful.
- Evaluation: The donor’s asset — whether a yacht, aircraft, or luxury vehicle — is professionally reviewed and appraised.
- Transfer: Ownership is legally transferred to the Foundation, ensuring compliance and transparency.
- Liquidation: BENFO facilitates the responsible sale of the asset through trusted industry partners.
- Distribution: Proceeds are directed to charitable beneficiaries, such as St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, supporting children and families in need.
It’s a streamlined process designed to remove obstacles and magnify impact — transforming material assets into instruments of healing and hope.
Looking Ahead: Expanding Impact Together
With the launch of BENFO.org, The Benevolence Foundation stands ready to welcome a new generation of donors and partners. The future holds exciting collaborations across the marine, aviation, and automotive industries — united by a single mission: to transform generosity into life-changing results.
Whether through yacht donations, sponsorships, or awareness partnerships, every act of giving helps extend BENFO’s reach and strengthens its commitment to those who need it most.
