Your first 3 months are free
Email raises money, but the gifts don't arrive in week one. So your first three months cost nothing, and every invoice after that is 25% off.

- Email your 501(c)(3) paperwork to [email protected]. Outside the US? Send the similar document your government issues.
- We apply 3 months free, then 25% off every invoice from there forward.
The 25% doesn't run out after a year. It stays on your account for as long as you send with us.
What you can do for your cause
You run programs, events, and a board meeting on a small team. Your email can run itself in the background.
- Thank every donor the day they give. Set up one thank-you email and it goes out on its own, every time. Your donor hears from you while the gift is still on their mind.
- Give supporters a reason to join your list. Describe a signup page in a sentence and the AI Landing Page Builder makes it, with the form already connected to your list. A welcome email greets each new supporter.
- Take donations on your own page. Connect Stripe and add a donation button to a landing page. For a monthly gift, set up a subscription payment in the drag-and-drop editor. Each donor joins your list when they give.
- Send donors and volunteers different emails. Tag people by how they help. Your volunteers get Saturday's shift reminder, and your donors get the year-end report.
- Fill your next event. Build a registration page, then print its QR code on a flyer or a table sign. One scan and they're signed up.
- Publish a newsletter without a blank page. Connect your website once. The Newsletter Assistant sends you a draft in your voice each week, ready to edit and send. It's included on every plan, Free included.
