Every nonprofit is different, which means every nonprofit’s audience is different. We tried to include as many use cases as possible to help as many nonprofits as possible, but it’s likely that there are plenty of other great ways of using automated emails that we haven’t even touched yet.
We highly recommend that even if you start by copying and pasting these templates into your email service provider, that you then take the time to sprinkle some personality into them. People follow people, and they don’t want to hear our words if they’ve followed you.
The first 4 templates are directed toward member-based organizations, while 5 through 8 are built with donation-driven organizations in mind. And then number 9 is just a surprise that works for everybody!
Here’s a confession: I’ve never written anything perfect in my life. I hope you’re ahead of me on this one, but I say this because I want you to have the freedom to just go for it!
Your community wants to hear from you, so don’t keep them waiting!
