Educate, Inspire, Motivate So Donors Take Action Today

This page is deliberately not designed for mobile use.

Here’s your organized index. Each video delivers emotional education — the kind that inspires, informs, and moves your donors toward action.

For the strongest impact, run the entire series. Together, these videos build momentum, reinforce key messages, and keep donors engaged at both a practical and emotional level.

Start With These Four Emotional Triggers

These openers tap into the strongest motivators — fear, loss of control, family protection, and chaos. They’re designed to grab attention and set the stage for emotional education:

  • What Happens If You Don’t Have a Will
  • If You Don’t Make a Will, the Government Will
  • What Happens to Your Kids if You Die Without a Will
  • The Mess You Leave Behind Without a Will

From there, continue through the full series to cover family, legacy, planning tools, and inspiring donor stories. The flow is intentional — each message reinforces the next, guiding donors from concern to clarity, and ultimately to action.

Quick Start

  2. Share it in donor emails, your website, social media, events, or follow-ups.
