Here's where FreeWill can help next
Based on the sessions Center for Disaster Philanthropy 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.
Donors trust a simple, professional way to give — whether that's a will, a stock gift, or a QCD — and FreeWill makes that easy to offer.
William, FreeWill's AI writing tool for nonprofit fundraisers, turns a blank page into a first draft of an appeal, thank-you note, or social post in minutes — built to write in your organization's own voice.
