Nonprofit Servant Solutions has not raised fees in nine years. It recently implemented customer relationship management software to support targeted education and communication, which are high on its values list. Formal board governance was established for this growing plan whose contributions outpace distributions at a ratio of 2:1. Serving 2,500 nonprofit church and ministry employers, the plan provides guaranteed retirement income options, a free financial plan for each participant, a student debt benefit and a provision to save for emergencies—all aiming to ensure financial wellness.
