Faith community gathered in warm fellowship

For Faith-Based Organizations

Turn weekly generosity into a legacy of faith.

A warm, self-paced experience built for a sensitive topic, so your congregation can extend their generosity for good.

It's rarely reluctance. It's a process most donors don't know how to start.

Getting started

Most people assume the only way to start is booking and paying for time with a lawyer.

Getting started

Donors start online, for free, the moment they're ready. No appointment required.

Understanding the process

Legal terms and unfamiliar paperwork make the process feel more complicated than it has to be, so it keeps getting put off.

Understanding the process

Plain-language, guided questions walk donors through exactly what to expect, one step at a time.

Cost

The assumption that a will costs money to create keeps many people from ever starting.

Cost

Completing a will through LotusGiving costs donors nothing, removing one of the most common barriers.

Including your cause

Even donors who complete a will on their own often never think to include a cause they care about; nothing prompts them to.

Including your cause

LotusGiving's guided builder prompts donors to consider including your organization at exactly the right moment, instead of leaving it to chance.

Most donors want to include a cause. Simplify the process.

Last Will & Testament

Fiduciary appointments

Executor and alternate, with a bond waiver and digital asset authority under RUFADAA.
