Raise transformational gifts with FreeWill

Here's where FreeWill can help next

Based on the sessions Communities in Schools of Michigan attended, we've pulled together a few ways to keep the momentum going.

FreeWill partners get a dedicated strategist and a tested year-end campaign structure, so your team isn't building the plan from scratch.

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.

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.
