What if 100 of your supporters committed to donating just $25 a month through your email newsletter?
That’s $30,000 a year.
No event.
No new grant.
No extra staff time.
Could $30,000 in unrestricted, predictable funding help you serve more people?
Cover operating costs?
Reduce the constant pressure to “figure out funding next”?
I’ll be honest—this may not happen overnight.
But if you are consistent, use the right tools, and give supporters a clear way to help, you can start to see results in just a few months.
You don’t need a large list, a dedicated development team, or additional staff time to begin—this can be implemented using your existing newsletter and trusted donor management tools.
You also don’t need to send more emails than usual.
The Automated Email Fundraising System ensures that timed emails go out on a schedule with carefully crafted messages that activate supporters to donate, so fundraising happens automatically in the background alongside your regular communications.
If your newsletter is still primarily sharing wins and updates, then it’s functioning as a communications tool—not yet as a funding asset.
Right now, you are not providing a clear, low-friction path for supporters who want to give. Consider:
Former beneficiaries who are now in a position to pay it forward
Long-time supporters who believe deeply in your mission
Donors who prefer steady, predictable support rather than one-off appeals
Do they really need to wait for a campaign, an event, or a passionate appeal to contribute?
Maybe you plan to address this “eventually”. But “eventually” is leaving unrestricted funding on the table.
So if your nonprofit already sends a newsletter but hasn’t yet connected fundraising tools or built a simple email fundraising system, check out the Automated Email Fundraising System.
You don’t need to wait for a passionate appeal in December— start now and make 2026 a year your newsletter works harder for your mission.
Cheers to your impact
