Email Template
Hi {{first_name}},
I wanted to share one more relevant example before stepping back.
A development director at a mid-size social services nonprofit was struggling with the same challenge many growing teams face: more donors to steward, but not proportionally more staff to do it. She implemented automated engagement scoring and triggered outreach sequences for her team of six. Within two quarters, they reduced their donor churn rate by 30% without adding headcount.
She told us the key insight was that most of their lapsed donors had not stopped caring. They had just stopped hearing from the organization at the right moments. If exploring that kind of approach for {{company_name}} would be useful, I am here to help. 8-11% reply rate

Personalization Tips
- Match the case study to their team size and cause area as closely as possible
- Reference a staffing or capacity challenge visible from their hiring patterns or public statements
- Mention a specific donor segment where this approach would have the highest impact for {{company_name}}
When to Use
7-10 business days after the first follow-up. Effective when the case study addresses a capacity challenge the manager likely faces.
When NOT to Use
When the organization has recently expanded their development team significantly, as the capacity problem may have been addressed through hiring.
