What your team caught at Summit
Here are the top sessions you or your team attended
Finding Untapped Major Giving Potential Within Your Existing Donor Base
Your existing donor base already has stock, DAF, and crypto capacity — the potential is there, you just haven't asked yet.
How to Unlock Wealth-Based Giving at Year-End
Most donor wealth sits outside checking accounts — that's the untapped opportunity nonprofits miss by asking for cash only.
Just for you
A few sessions we think your team would enjoy
How Blended Gifts Can Become Your Very Largest Donations
Pairing a current gift with a planned one can turn a modest ask into a donor's single largest gift.
Must-Use Practices for Conversations With Major Donors at End-of-Year

Here's where FreeWill can help next
Based on the sessions Wayside House 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.
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.
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.
