Raise transformational gifts with FreeWill

Here's where FreeWill can help next

Based on the sessions The Ark 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.

William, FreeWill's AI writing tool for nonprofit fundraisers, turns a blank page into a first draft of an appeal, thank-you note, or social post in minutes — built to write in your organization's own voice.

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.
