Raise transformational gifts with FreeWill

Here's where FreeWill can help next

Based on the sessions Giraffe Conservation Foundation USA attended, we've pulled together a few ways to keep the momentum going.

FreeWill partners get a dedicated strategist, tested campaign content, and tools that make giving simple, whether that's a will, stock, or a QCD.

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.

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.
