Raise transformational gifts with FreeWill

Here's where FreeWill can help next

Based on the sessions Food and Water Watch attended, we've pulled together a few ways to keep the momentum going.

Food and Water Watch received a $35,000 bequest through FreeWill's public website this past year — a clear sign donors are ready to give this way to your cause.

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.
