Here's where FreeWill can help next
Based on the sessions Say Detroit attended, we've pulled together a few ways to keep the momentum going.
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.
A FreeWill Featureship puts your nonprofit in front of thousands of people making a will each month — a direct way to reach donors you haven't met yet.
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.
