Automatically send personalized thank-you messages, impact updates, and re-engagement campaigns to retain and grow your donor base.
Most nonprofits lose 60-80% of first-time donors because follow-up is generic or nonexistent. Staff are stretched thin and thank-you emails go out weeks late — if at all. Recurring donors lapse silently because no one noticed they stopped giving. Every lost donor costs 5-10x more to replace than to retain.
When a donation is processed (online, check, or event), the thank-you workflow triggers immediately.
Within 24 hours, the donor receives a personalized thank-you email referencing their specific gift amount, campaign, and the impact it enables.
Over the following 3 months, donors receive 2-3 impact updates showing how their contribution is making a difference — with stories, photos, and metrics.
The system flags donors who gave last year but have not given in the current cycle (90+ days past their typical giving pattern).
Lapsed donors receive a personalized 3-touch outreach: a mission reminder, an impact story, and a gentle ask with a specific project to fund.
