Our Philosophy

At Benefic, we understand that when it comes to creating meaningful change in the world, it is not the “ends justify the means”,  but rather that the way you go about enacting that change affects the results you achieve.   With more than thirty-five years of non-profit, legal, and mental health and substance abuse disorder services experience combined, we at Benefic specialize in building organizations, systems, and processes to support non-profits in providing quality interventions, complying with their legal obligations, and maintaining organizational cultures that enhance and add to, rather than detract from, their missions.
