Hi {{first_name}},
At a mid-size nonprofit like {{company_name}}, the volume of donor touchpoints your team needs to manage grows faster than headcount. If you are responsible for a portfolio of donors or a segment of your stewardship calendar, you already know how quickly things pile up.
We built our platform to help fundraising professionals like you handle the operational side of stewardship more efficiently. It automates gift acknowledgments, schedules personalized check-ins based on giving history, and flags donors showing early signs of disengagement so you can intervene before they lapse.
A major gift officer at a regional environmental nonprofit managing a portfolio of 300 donors told us she reduced her administrative time by 40% while actually increasing her personal touchpoints with top-tier donors. The automation handled the routine communication, freeing her to focus on relationship-building calls and visits.
The platform integrates with Salesforce, Bloomerang, Raiser's Edge, and most major nonprofit CRMs. Would it be helpful to see how it could fit into your current workflow? I can do a focused 20-minute demo tailored to your role.
Looking forward to connecting, {{first_name}}. 10-13% reply rate

Personalization Tips
- Reference a specific project or initiative they are working on based on their LinkedIn activity or published articles
- Mention the CRM platform {{company_name}} uses and explain how the integration would work for their specific role
- Note their portfolio size or donor segment responsibility if visible from their job title or public information
- Acknowledge a professional development achievement, such as a CFRE certification or conference presentation
When to Use
When reaching out to major gift officers, stewardship coordinators, or development associates at mid-size nonprofits who manage specific donor portfolios or stewardship functions.
When NOT to Use
When the individual is new to their role and still learning existing systems, as they are unlikely to champion a new tool during onboarding.
