Here's where FreeWill can help next
Based on the sessions Excelencia in Education 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.
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.
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.
