Broken "Benevity" footer link #2654

Description

@medmunds

The site footer link "Benevity Workplace Giving Program" is effectively broken. (includes/footer.html)

It goes to a #benevity-giving anchor on the fundraising page. That anchor was removed in 7ef7b74 in 2015, so you're dropped at the top of the fundraising page instead. On that page, there is a list item for Benevity, which links to that same nonexistent anchor (fundraising/index.html):

    <li>
      {% url 'fundraising:index' as fundraising_url %}
      {% blocktranslate trimmed %}
        <a href="{{ fundraising_url }}#benevity-giving">Benevity Workplace Giving
          Program</a> - If your employer participates, you can make donations to the
        DSF via payroll deduction.
      {% endblocktranslate %}
    </li>

If the DSF is still receiving contributions through Benevity then that list item should probably be the destination of the footer link, and the self-link should be removed. (Or the fundraising page could link to benevity.com, but I couldn't find any good resources for employees on their site. It's all aimed at the employers who are Benevity's customers.)

    {# proposed #}
    <li id="benevity-giving">
      {% blocktranslate trimmed %}
        Benevity Workplace Giving Program - If your employer participates,
        you can make donations to the DSF via payroll deduction.
      {% endblocktranslate %}
    </li>

If Benevity is no longer funneling donations toward the DSF then I'd suggest instead removing the footer link and that list item. Or maybe replacing it with a generic mention of automatic charitable payroll deductions and employer matching programs.
