A SCORE Mentors Berks and Schuylkill Cty Case Study
BenEvent Auctions, led by Dee Dee Kiesow, was looking to transition from a secure full-time role into a full-time fundraising consulting and benefit auction business. To help with that move, she worked with SCORE Mentors Berks and Schuylkill Cty counselors, who specialized in nonprofits and guided her through forming a consulting business and sharpening her event fundraising strategy.
With support from SCORE Mentors Berks and Schuylkill Cty, Dee Dee built BenEvent Auctions into a consulting service that helps nonprofits plan strategic fundraising events months in advance and improve donor cultivation. The results were strong: she helped raise over $500K for nonprofits in one year and set a goal of reaching $1 million in annual fundraising, showing the growing impact of her business and SCORE’s mentorship.
