Your grantees deserve more than a check

We partner with private foundations to equip their grantees with the tools to build lasting, diversified fundraising programs — so the missions you fund can thrive long after the grant cycle ends.

Most nonprofits receive a grant and get back to work. Few have the infrastructure to keep growing when the grant cycle ends. That's what we help your foundation change.

FOUNDATION PROGRAMS

Three ways to invest
in grantee capacity

Choose the program that fits your foundation's goals. FreeWill handles onboarding, training, and ongoing strategy for every grantee in your portfolio.

Smart Giving

The Legacy Program

For foundations investing in long-term grantee resilience

Your grantees are sitting beside the largest wealth transfer in American history — and most of them have no way to capture it. The Legacy Program gives every nonprofit in your portfolio the tools to accept bequests, appreciated stock, donor-advised fund grants, and IRA gifts. Gifts that are larger, more tax-efficient, and more transformational than a standard donation — and ones your grantees are currently leaving on the table.

Free, branded estate planning tools for donors
Bequest and gift commitment tracking
Qualified charitable distributions from IRAs
Accept stocks, ETFs, and other securities
Donor-advised fund giving integration
Crypto acceptance and auto-liquidation

The Growth Program

For foundations focused on grantee independence

The most effective path to grantee sustainability is revenue diversification — opening new channels for both donor gifts and institutional funding. The Growth Program pairs non-cash giving tools with an AI-powered grant platform, so your grantees can raise more from the donors they already have and win more of the grants they're already pursuing. Less reliance on any single funder. Including you.

By giving your grantees access to legacy giving, non-cash assets, and AI-powered grant writing — backed by FreeWill's strategy team and portfolio-level reporting — you're not just funding their work. You're building the infrastructure that sustains it.

HOW IT WORKS

We do the heavy lifting.
You take the credit.

Your foundation chooses the program. FreeWill handles everything else — onboarding, training, strategy, and ongoing support for every grantee in your portfolio.

Step 01
You choose the program.

Work with our team to select the bundle that matches your foundation's capacity-building goals and grantee cohort size.

Step 02
We onboard your grantees

FreeWill's team handles setup, staff training, and launch strategy for every nonprofit in your portfolio - no burden on your program officers.

Step 03
You see the impact

Track gifts unlocked, grants won, and dollars raised across your entire grantee portfolio with foundation-level reporting built for your board.

"I think you're putting your finger on the pulse of what charitable organizations want and need to promote. I think it's very smart. It's exciting, and I'm excited to be in this space with you."

WHY FOUNDATIONS CHOOSE FREEWILL

Built for the work
you care about

01
A real portfolio program

This isn't a software license you hand off. FreeWill embeds with your grantees — strategy, training, and support included — and reports back to your foundation on outcomes that matter.

02
Built for small-staff realities

Most grantees don't have a development director, let alone a planned giving officer. FreeWill is designed for exactly that reality — giving small teams capabilities they could never build alone.

03
Measurable impact

Foundations need to show program results. We give you the data — gifts committed, grants won, revenue diversified — so you can tell the story of what your investment made possible.
