Appeal Letter or Donor Email

$395.00

This service is for nonprofit teams that need to ask for support clearly and confidently but don’t have time to write, revise, and second-guess the messaging. Whether you’re preparing for a campaign, launching a new initiative, or just overdue for reaching out to donors, this gives you a compelling, on-brand appeal that’s ready to send.

You’ll receive a full-length version of your appeal tailored for email or print, plus shortened versions that you can use in text messages or on social media. Every word is crafted to reflect your mission, values, and the urgency of your request.

What’s Included:
One full-length appeal
A persuasive message designed for email or print, written in your voice with a strong call to action. This piece is ideal for fundraising drives, end-of-year giving, or one-time campaigns.

Two short-form versions
Adapted versions for text blasts, DMs, or social captions so you can keep the message consistent across platforms.

Optional subject line or header
We’ll include a suggested subject line or print-ready headline to make your message stand out in inboxes and letters alike.

Why It Works:
Too many fundraising messages feel flat or vague. When you’re running on a tight timeline and writing under pressure, it’s hard to strike the right balance between urgency and clarity.

This service delivers language that makes the case without sounding pushy, disconnected, or generic. It helps you talk to your donors like people who care about the same things you do—because they do.

Real Examples:
A grassroots arts org used this service to refresh their annual appeal, resulting in a 30% increase in response rate from the previous year.

A food justice project turned their short-form message into a print postcard and digital Instagram post, leading to 70 new first-time donors during a community drive.

A mutual aid collective used their appeal to launch a recurring donor program, with the message becoming the foundation of their welcome sequence.

Delivery Timeline:
5 to 7 business days
Rush delivery available for $145

Who This Is For:
Organizations preparing for a seasonal or one-time fundraising campaign
Teams who want to improve donor engagement without sounding transactional
Groups that need help turning their work into language that moves people
Anyone who has ever stared at a blank screen the night before launch
