Monthly Giving Thank You Letter Templates Donors Will Love

These monthly giving thank you letter templates will save your staff time in telling your monthly donors just how special they really are.

The key to retaining them? Thank them. Thank them often. And take “thank you” a step further by showing your monthly donors the real and radical results of their decision to give to your organization each and every month.

In addition to the traditional acknowledgment, monthly donors expect frequent updates as to where their gift is going and how it’s making a difference in regard to your mission. If you’re working with a lean nonprofit team, consistent communication can be a tough task.

These monthly giving thank you letter/email templates can help you and your team easily and effectively communicate the incredible impact of a donor’s continual commitment to the progress of your mission.
