Raise transformational gifts with FreeWill

Here's where FreeWill can help next

Based on the sessions Burke County United Way attended, we've pulled together a few ways to keep the momentum going.

FreeWill's Auto-Stewardship acknowledges and engages your bequest donors at scale with timely, customized emails sent on your behalf, no extra work for your team.

A FreeWill Featureship puts your nonprofit in front of thousands of people making a will each month — a direct way to reach donors you haven't met yet.

FreeWill partners get a dedicated strategist, tested campaign content, and tools that make giving simple, whether that's a will, stock, or a QCD.
