I think - after comtemplating syntax - I get the meaning of "free will offering".
;-)
They are not offering a free will, hm?

Martina, I'm not sure what the rules are in NY state, but when a non-profit organization charges admission to an event there are various tax implications. At the very least sales tax becomes an issue. So I'd guess the offering of some cash as an act of free will may somehow get around the tax issues.

Carl, without your explanation I would have been lost. I mean, there are churches that claim your free will for them, but these won't advertise this.

Markus, that's what got my attention. The concept of "right conscience" means essentially "use your free will to choose to do exactly what we say," so the sign struck a chord with that.
