ON-DEMAND MASTERCLASS

12-Month New Donor Engagement Email Drip

Includes 12-months of access to the on-demand masterclass

About the masterclass

ON-DEMAND MASTERCLASS — Learn how to stay in front of new donors through a 12-month automated email campaign. Set it up once, every new donor or prospect will get monthly emails automatically.

Don’t let them slip away! Stay in front of new donors using email automation.

Are you watching new donors fall into your “database black hole” after their first contribution to your community foundation? You’re not alone. Many foundations struggle to make a one-time donor convert into a raving advocate for your work. What if your next rock star donor or supporter could be cultivated with just one click?


In this masterclass, we’ll show you how to “stop the slip” using templated email automations. This tool will help you stay in front of new friends and future fans all year long without setting calendar reminders, thinking up new content, or dealing with ongoing maintenance. We’ll provide month-by-month email topic ideas and show you how to execute each step in your preferred platform, as well as how to structure the information in Foundant.


Say goodbye to old, untapped email addresses. Say goodbye to monthly email communication maintenance. Set it, forget it, and let it work driving contributions to things like estate plans, field of interest funds, or new donor advised funds!
