Raise transformational gifts with FreeWill

Here's where FreeWill can help next

Based on the sessions Wildlife Conservation Society attended, we've pulled together a few ways to keep the momentum going.

Wildlife Conservation Society is already seeing bequests come in through FreeWill's public website — 5 gifts worth $1,442,500 combined this past year. That's a clear sign donors are ready to include your organization in their long-term giving.

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.
