Be Thoughtful for Nonprofits

Thank every donor by hand.

Upload this month’s donor export. We write a different thank-you for each donor, for their gift and what it was for, you approve them all at once, and they’re mailed in real pen and ink with your organization as the return address.

Why a handwritten thank-you

It’s noticed

A real envelope with a handwritten address stands out in a mailbox full of print, and a thank-you that took effort says the gift mattered.

It’s about them

Each note is written for one donor: their gift, what it was for, and whether it’s their first. Never a form letter with a name dropped in.

It arrives while it’s fresh

Thank this month’s donors this month. Upload the export, approve the notes, and they’re in the mail.

How it works

  1. 1

    Upload your donor export

    A CSV from Donorbox, Givebutter, Bloomerang, PayPal Giving Fund, Stripe, Classy (GoFundMe Pro) or GoFundMe, or your own spreadsheet. Columns are matched for you: name, address, amount, date, designation, first-time or repeat.

  2. 2

    Only new gifts are added

    Upload next month’s export (or connect your form through our API or a webhook): gifts already on file are skipped, so nobody is thanked twice.

  3. 3

    Every note is written individually

    First gifts, repeat gifts and major gifts (at the level you set) each get their own template, with the amount and designation woven in.

  4. 4

    Approve all, pay once

    See every note side by side, edit any word, then approve and pay in one tap. Each is written with a real pen and mailed.

Works with exports from Donorbox, Givebutter, Bloomerang, PayPal Giving Fund, Stripe, Classy (GoFundMe Pro), GoFundMe, or any spreadsheet.

A note for every kind of gift

Set your own major-gift level. Each template is a starting point for the writer, with {amount} and {designation} filled in; these examples show the kind of note each one makes.

First gift

Welcome a new donor the week their first gift arrives.

“Thank you for your first gift to the summer reading program, Dana. Welcome to the family: forty kids will have new books this July.”
Example only

Repeat gift

Thank a returning donor for coming back.

“Thank you for giving again, Marcus. Knowing you’re with us year after year is what keeps the pantry shelves full.”
Example only

Major gift

A more personal note for gifts at or above your major-gift level.

“Your generous gift to the new shelter wing truly changes what we can do, Helen. I wanted to thank you personally.”
Example only

No tax language unless you add it: our writer never mentions deductions or receipts. If you want your own receipt line, type it on a template and it’s printed exactly as written. Your EIN stays on your receipts and profile, never on a card.
