Chairman
 
Charles H. Bentz, Chairman of the Bentz Group, has established a national reputation for his acumen in virtually all aspects of fund development and counsel, and for his integrity and commitment to community service. A native of Ohio, who attended Notre Dame and graduated from Denison University, he served for more than a decade in marketing positions with several major companies, including the Battelle Memorial Institute and General Electric Corporation. 
 
Before establishing his own firm, Charles worked for ten years with other national fundraising firms, serving as vice president for one and managing partner for another. From these experiences he learned that, too often, fund counsel firms fail to provide the strategic approach and highly individualized services that are increasingly needed in today’s competitive philanthropic marketplace. His goal in establishing the Bentz Group, therefore, was to provide client-centered, customized, marketing-oriented fundraising expertise and management consulting to non-profit institutions throughout the United States. Numerous satisfied clients attest to his success in this endeavor. Under his direction the Bentz Group has stayed true to its mission, and has successfully managed capital and endowment campaigns and provided fundraising assistance for nearly 300 clients. 
 
Active in civic life in the eastern Ohio region, Charles has served as president of the Warren Philharmonic Orchestra and is a co-founder of a Kent State University lecture series. He is an active and well-known leader in Greater Warren’s revitalization efforts, particularly in the historic district where both his residence and the Bentz Group headquarters are located. In addition, Charles is a nationally respected and frequently- requested speaker on a wide range of fundraising topics.
 

"I think that all of our clients would endorse my belief that, when asked to give, Americans are the most generous people in the world."

–Charles H. Bentz
