Raise transformational gifts with FreeWill

Here's where FreeWill can help next

Based on the sessions Water For People attended, we've pulled together a few ways to keep the momentum going.

Water For People received a $262,500 bequest through FreeWill's public website this past year — a clear sign donors are ready to give this way to your cause.

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'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.
