Websites
We want to help you fulfill the mission and vision of your organization. A strong online presence plays a crucial role in the success of your gift planning marketing. Crescendo will build a website that includes your organization's branding, motivating donor stories, downloadable literature, informative videos, regularly updated articles, an online wills planner, personalized gift illustrations, advisor information and more.
Our websites are user-friendly and fully optimized for both mobile and desktop devices, ensuring a seamless experience across all platforms. The examples below showcase some of the many websites we have developed for different organizations.
Wills Planner
As part of Crescendo's GiftLegacy Pro marketing service, we provide a free Wills Planner on your gift planning website. This user-friendly tool allows donors to easily input key information such as assets, beneficiaries, estate executors and family details. Our system then generates a downloadable will. It's a simple yet powerful way to help your donors plan their legacy.
Dynamic Widgets
Our websites include dynamic widgets that streamline donor giving for donor advised funds (DAFs), IRA charitable rollover and beneficiary designation gifts.
Donors will be redirected from your GiftLegacy Pro website directly to the login pages to make these gifts. You can be notified by email of any DAF and IRA rollover gifts made from your website.

Top Marketing Tips
Your mission is unique and unlike that of any other charity. Your donors are also special, and they support your cause for reasons that are very real and personal to them. To appeal to your donors, your marketing should reflect what your organization is and where it is going.
