Here's where FreeWill can help next
Based on the sessions The DC Central Kitchen attended, we've pulled together a few ways to keep the momentum going.
The DC Central Kitchen is already seeing bequests come in through FreeWill's public website — 2 gifts worth $237,500 combined this past year. That's a clear sign donors are ready to include your organization in their long-term giving.
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.
FreeWill partners get a dedicated strategist and a tested year-end campaign structure, so your team isn't building the plan from scratch.
