An email list provides affordable outreach, automates time-saving measures, and directly speaks to donors. A fundraising email also builds brand awareness and trust with your donors.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.aweber.com\/learn\/average-email-length.htm\"><strong>Campaign Monitor<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>reported<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0that the nonprofit industry has the highest email open rate at 20.39 percent.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.communityboost.org\/case-studies\/tenement-museum-case-study\/\"><strong>The Tenement Museum<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is an example of a low-cost, high-performance fundraising email campaign. The museum\u2019s mission is to \u201cfoster a society that embraces and values the role of immigration in the American identity.\u201d The overarching goal was to build awareness with a digital campaign so the museum could stay open to tell unique stories about the American experience for immigrants, migrants, and refugees.<\/p>\n<p>A 24-hr well-focused Facebook fundraiser and accompanying fundraising email campaign garnered $50,000+ in donations with $0 in ad spending \u2014 $40,000 came from email solicitations alone.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13937\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.communityboost.org\/case-studies\/tenement-museum-case-study\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13937\" src=\"https:\/\/www.communityboost.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/american-stories-300x100.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 684px) 100vw, 684px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.communityboost.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/american-stories-300x100.png 300w, https:\/\/www.communityboost.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/american-stories-150x50.png 150w, https:\/\/www.communityboost.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/american-stories-450x150.png 450w, https:\/\/www.communityboost.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/american-stories.png 512w\" alt=\"Telling uniquely American Stories Case Study\" width=\"684\" height=\"228\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Facebook Fundraising Campaign Case Study<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>7 essential elements needed in a fundraising email<\/h3>\n<p>Here are some of the most essential elements needed in a fundraising email to cause a significant impact, like the fundraiser The Tenement Museum conducted.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h4>Element 1: Proper Formatting<\/h4>\n<p>Ensure your format is mobile-friendly. Smartphones, tablets, etc., accounted for 54 percent of nonprofit website traffic in 2021, according to\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/mrbenchmarks.com\/journeys#departure-points\">M+R Benchmarks<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Surveys show that an email read on a mobile device and then read a second time on a desktop has a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.emailmonday.com\/mobile-email-usage-statistics\/\"><strong>65 percent higher likelihood<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>of getting clicked.<\/p>\n<p>Website and email analytics will offer insights on how users accessed your organization\u2019s information.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h4>Element 2: Know Your Audience<\/h4>\n<p>Make the reader feel like that fundraising email was created for them alone. Segmentation and targeting pinpoint precisely what you want to say to an audience. Audiences are more likely to engage with content relevant to them. It also keeps specific audiences from receiving too many messages. Some audience segmentation options include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Age<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Gift size<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Donation frequency<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Last donation date<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Tools like\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.communityboost.org\/digital-marketing-blog\/how-to-get-started-a-b-testing-website\/\">A\/B testing<\/a>\u00a0will ensure you get the best message to the audience.<\/p>\n<h4>Element 3: Subject Line<\/h4>\n<p>Third, craft a robust and active subject line. Almost half of email recipients open an email based on the subject line. Personalized subject lines get a 26 percent boost in open rates.<\/p>\n<p>Nonprofits can have fun by including emojis,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.campaignmonitor.com\/blog\/email-marketing\/the-real-scoop-on-email-emoji-in-subject-lines\/\">which reportedly<\/a>\u00a0increased open rates by 56 percent compared to text-only subject lines. Here are some additional tips to keep in mind:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Brevity creates a mystery:<\/strong>\u00a0Keep subject lines under 16 characters.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Use active verbs:<\/strong>\u00a0Create a sense of urgency or importance<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Avoid spam words:<\/strong>\u00a0Words like \u201cFree\u201d and \u201cPromise\u201d will get your fundraising email kicked to the junk or spam folder.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Be accurate:<\/strong>\u00a0Say exactly what you mean. Don\u2019t bait and switch a reader.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Pose questions<\/strong>, but don\u2019t use questions where the answer could be \u201cNo.\u201d A \u201cno\u201d doesn\u2019t encourage the reader to take action.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Avoid using \u201cwe.\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cWe\u201d doesn\u2019t create an image, but \u201cI\u201d implies that a person wants to talk to \u201cyou\u201d and \u201cme.\u201d<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Use traditional literary techniques, and then break the rules:<\/strong>\u00a0Use rhymes, alliterations, music lyrics, movie quotes, and more. Once you understand basic sentence structure, you can break the rules in ways that catch the reader off guard and create intrigue.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Create FOMO<\/strong>\u00a0(Fear of Missing Out).<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Personalize the subject line<\/strong>\u00a0with the contact\u2019s first name<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Have the email sent from an actual email that can receive replies<\/strong>. Emails that link to a real human perform better than ones that use an unmonitored mailbox.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Stay on brand:<\/strong>\u00a0Follow voice and tone guidelines in your organization\u2019s brand kit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13936\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13936\" src=\"https:\/\/www.communityboost.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/spam-for-fundraisin-email-300x175.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.communityboost.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/spam-for-fundraisin-email-300x175.png 300w, https:\/\/www.communityboost.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/spam-for-fundraisin-email-150x87.png 150w, https:\/\/www.communityboost.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/spam-for-fundraisin-email-450x262.png 450w, https:\/\/www.communityboost.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/spam-for-fundraisin-email.png 512w\" alt=\"email spam trigger words\" width=\"660\" height=\"385\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">These are words that trigger your email to go into someone\u2019s spam folder<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>Element 4: Decide how to structure your email<\/h4>\n<p>Hook your reader with concise messaging. Remember, though, even if they don\u2019t take action and donate, you are still building brand awareness and donor trust.<\/p>\n<p>Nonprofits have many amazing stories but keep messages to a singular topic and don\u2019t provide links that pull them away from the fundraising email CTA. Other tips include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Make use of your preview snippet. After the subject line, this is the next thing they\u2019ll probably read.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Use active verbs and vivid nouns in headers and subheads.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Limit messages to two or three paragraphs.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Keep paragraphs fewer than three sentences.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Be consistent with a style based on the brand kit. This covers\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"2\">Typeface<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"2\">Brand colors<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"2\">Brand logo<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Include plenty of white space<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Review the format on all device options.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Optimize the organization\u2019s contact information<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Include links that are clear and easy to click, especially on mobile devices. Your CTA should be above the fold, which is what the reader can see before they scroll.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Element 5: Visuals<\/h4>\n<p>Your images need to pop and grab attention.\u00a0 Research shows that<a href=\"https:\/\/movableink.com\/blog\/29-incredible-stats-that-prove-the-power-of-visual-marketing\">\u00a090 percent of the information<\/a>\u00a0processed by the brain is visual and that the brain processes imagery 60,000 times faster than text. Make your visuals stand out:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Choose the correct formatting of the visual for the email.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Optimize visuals for mobile devices. If it\u2019s pixelated or an infographic with too small text, that image isn\u2019t processed correctly.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Choose images that tell a story.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Choose images that are vivid and color-rich.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Consider creating an infographic vs. a traditional photo.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Do not use images without proper copyright permissions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Learn more about\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.communityboost.org\/digital-marketing-blog\/3-tips-to-improve-your-nonprofits-imagery\/\">creating compelling visuals for your organization here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4>Element 6: Tell a story<\/h4>\n<p>You have moved your reader closer to donating online. But unfortunately, most people read\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/movableink.com\/blog\/29-incredible-stats-that-prove-the-power-of-visual-marketing\">fewer than 30 percent of the words<\/a>\u00a0on a page, and 55 percent of website visitors spend less than 15 seconds actively reading.<\/p>\n<p>Here are ways you can make the most out of the few paragraphs of real estate in a fundraising email:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Answer basic questions:\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"2\">How does this affect me? Why should I care? How will my donation make an impact?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Like any good story, have a protagonist. It\u2019s easier to relate to individuals than entire populations.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Show their donation\u2019s impact that keeps the mission thriving.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Appeal to emotions: Keep using strong, active verbs, vivid nouns, and simple language. Paint pictures with your short story.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Don\u2019t use industry jargon, as that will slow down your story.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Focus on ONE specific program or aspect of the organization. The main goal is to get them to the CTA.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Provide a \u201cfinal act\u201d for the protagonists\u2019 story that leads directly into the CTA. You\u2019ve made them problem aware, so now you need them to get solution-focused.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Element 7: Call To Action<\/h4>\n<p>Last, get the reader to click your CTA. Now you need to complete the reader\u2019s journey by taking action and making a donation.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how to craft a compelling CTA:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Be clear on what you\u2019re asking of donors.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Be clear on the following action they need to take in case decision fatigue has set in.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Continue using bold, active verbs.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Offer a solution to the problem posed in your fundraising email.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Create a sense of urgency.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here are 15 examples of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/adespresso.com\/blog\/call-to-action-examples\/\">great Calls to Action<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>What To Do After You\u2019ve Crafted Your Fundraising Email<\/h3>\n<p>Fundraising emails are not one and done. Following up on the initial ask email determines how to build the momentum your organization has created.<\/p>\n<h4>Track and Analyze your email\u2019s performance<\/h4>\n<p>Metrics to look for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Open Rate<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Click-Thru-Rate (CTR)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Bounce Rate<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Conversion Rate<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>List Growth Rate<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Unsubscribe Rate<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Spam Rate<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Engagement Over Time<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Mobile Usage Rates<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Return On Investment (ROI)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Revenue Per Email<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Domain Click Rate<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>How iOS15 will affect metrics:<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.communityboost.org\/digital-marketing-blog\/nonprofits-adapt-to-ios-privacy-update\/\">Apple released iOS15<\/a>\u00a0in September 2021, which made three main privacy changes that affect email marketing:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Mail Privacy Protection (Free):\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>Apple Mail will offer users to toggle off\/on privacy protection which will mask their IP addresses, blocking third parties from tracking email opens or other IP data.<\/li>\n<li><b>ICloud+:\u00a0<\/b>This is an iCloud subscription that offers additional privacy features preventing sites from tracking Safari users that have opted into this subscription. Additionally, this allows users to see which sites are collecting their information.<\/li>\n<li><b>Hide my email:\u00a0<\/b>This feature allows site visitors and customers to give a \u201cfake\u201d email address that they can change at any time. These fake addresses will send your email to an actual address, just not to that specific visitor. The issue here lies in that you will not be able to attain that person\u2019s valid email address unless they share it with you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Apple Mail and Apple mobile devices contain more than 35 percent of the email provider market share globally. Yet, despite the changes,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/mrbenchmarks.com\/journeys#messaging\">M+R Benchmarks reported<\/a>\u00a0that fundraising email open rates climbed by 17 percent in 2021.<\/p>\n<h4>Write a follow-up fundraising email<\/h4>\n<p>Automations keep the donor \u201cwarmed up\u201d for future engagement. The post-ask engagement is essential. For-profit businesses gain 320 percent more revenue from automated emails than non-automated emails. Take their lead and save time and money.<\/p>\n<p>Readers don\u2019t want to feel used and not see any value from their interaction with your organization. So here are some post-ask emails to automate:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Thank you email for donors. Make them feel valued.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Value-add email that shows the use of donations.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">A follow-up email with non-monetary ways to get involved with the organization.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">A follow-up email to become a recurring donor.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Follow-up email for those who opened the fundraising email but did not act. This can include another email encouraging them to take action. Don\u2019t guilt-trip in this email.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Follow-up newsletter to build brand awareness and trust with those who didn\u2019t open the fundraising email.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>Email marketing is effective. Ensure your fundraising email success by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.campaignmonitor.com\/resources\/guides\/email-marketing-benchmarks\/\">optimizing the day and time<\/a>\u00a0it is sent.\u00a0 According to Campaign Monitor, emails sent on Monday can reach a CTR of 20 percent, making it the best day to send a fundraising email. Among fundraising, advocacy, and newsletter emails sent in 2021, M+R Benchmark reported that fundraising open rates performed at 23 percent. Of those fundraising emails, the page completion rate was 16 percent.<\/p>\n<p><i>Our\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.communityboost.org\/digital-marketing-blog\/email-marketing-for-nonprofits-guide\/\"><i>Email Guide for Nonprofit Marketing<\/i><\/a><i>\u00a0will set your organization up for success when your next fundraising email campaign happens this year.\u00a0\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":11815,"template":"","article-type":[],"bit-type":[],"learning-center-category":[567,60,578,517],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.5 (Yoast SEO v24.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How to Write the Best Fundraising Email - PIR<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Learn how to write effective fundraising emails for mission-driven organizations.
