Here's where FreeWill can help next
Based on the sessions United Way of the Dutchess-Orange Region 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.
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.
