Fundraising and grant writing

Write a year-end giving email series

Creates a connected set of emails so your end-of-year campaign has a clear arc.

Lower risk: public info only — Keep to public campaign details and general stories; do not paste supporter lists or private data.

Please note: This site is only a guide to help people understand. Consult your IT, security and/or privacy department for clarification.

Before you start, gather

Take [GOAL] and [END DATE] from your approved campaign plan and [CORE MESSAGE] from your case for support. Set [NUMBER OF EMAILS] to match your real send calendar.

Starter prompt

Write a series of [NUMBER OF EMAILS] year-end fundraising emails for [ORGANIZATION NAME]. Campaign goal: [GOAL]. Deadline: [END DATE]. Key message: [CORE MESSAGE]. For each email give a subject line, a preview line and the body (under 200 words), building from a story email to an impact email to a final-day reminder. Use only the facts I give you. Do not invent matching gifts, amounts raised, statistics or deadlines; write MISSING INFO where a story or impact detail is needed.

Paste the prompt into your AI tool first, then replace the placeholders with your own details. Don't use real names of clients or donors.

Open an AI tool

You are leaving this guide. Copy the prompt first, then open a tool. The link goes to the website of the company named on each link, in a new tab. That company's terms and privacy policy apply there. Paste the prompt in, then replace the placeholders with your own details. Don't enter real names or confidential details.

Check the result

Check dates, goals and links, and read each subject line for spam-sounding words before scheduling.

What it might get wrong

A matching-gift offer, urgency claim or total raised so far that you never set; deadline wording that disagrees with your end date; statistics slipped into the story email.
