Raise transformational gifts with FreeWill

Here's where FreeWill can help next

Based on the sessions Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest North Carolina 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.

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 partners get a dedicated strategist and a tested year-end campaign structure, so your team isn't building the plan from scratch.
