What your team caught at Summit
Here are the top sessions you or your team attended
Finding Untapped Major Giving Potential Within Your Existing Donor Base
Your existing donor base already has stock, DAF, and crypto capacity — the potential is there, you just haven't asked yet.
How to Unlock Wealth-Based Giving at Year-End
Most donor wealth sits outside checking accounts — that's the untapped opportunity nonprofits miss by asking for cash only.
Just for you
A few sessions we think your team would enjoy
The Types of Gifts That Matter Most in 2026
Tax law changes and shifting donor preferences mean the gifts driving growth this year aren't the ones you'd expect.
Must-Use Practices for Conversations With Major Donors at End-of-Year
Year-end is a relationship moment, not just a solicitation moment — the strongest asks come from confident, trust-first conversations.

Here's where FreeWill can help next
Based on the sessions Great Plains Food Bank attended, we've pulled together a few ways to keep the momentum going.
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.
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.
