A recently confirmed bequestor to Greenpeace wrote a note saying, “it was meant to be”. Including a charity in your will can include a sense of destiny because it taps into story and legacy. There are many ways to engage with donors and potential bequestors, but Greenpeace has been trialling a new method called “life writing”. This method builds connection with supporters by helping them relate their lives to Greenpeace in the form of stories. While the bequest program has been small and passive for a long time, the new life writing approach plus other tactics to proactively identify and nurture potential bequestors is witnessing a resurgence in the program.
