A note to our partners
|
|
Given the current state of the world, we wanted to reach out to all of our partners and deliver a newsletter filled with relevant content about COVID-19 and your organization. Our entire company is laser focused on helping our partners through this uncertain time. We've been producing custom email language and phone scripts for you and your donors, holding weekly webinars to help you in all facets of fundraising and monitoring the situation to give you updated information.
While these are confusing times, we are here to make sure your fundraising continues and your organization is successful, albeit in a slightly different manner.
If there is additional content you are looking for that you do not see below, or if you need anything from FreeWill, do not hesitate to reach out.

Short survey: Following up with your FreeWill donors
|
|
Though we are addressing COVID-19-related needs, FreeWill is committed to our partners, and we're moving forward with our goal to raise $1 trillion for charity.
Many of our partners are curious about how planned giving can affect other fundraising departments. If you have two minutes today, we'd love for you to tell us about your experience following up with FreeWill donors — whether that's to thank them for their gift or to tell them more about how they can support your organization.
This will help us explore how our partners are using FreeWill to steward planned giving donors into making annual or major gifts.
