Here's where FreeWill can help next
Based on the sessions Duke University attended, we've pulled together a few ways to keep the momentum going.
Duke University is already seeing bequests come in through FreeWill's public website — 4 gifts worth $3,043,500 combined this past year. That's a clear sign donors are ready to include your organization in their long-term giving.
The average stock gift through FreeWill runs about $10,400, against roughly $100 for an average cash gift. Same donors, a very different number when they give a different way.
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.
