The Welcome Email is a feature that sends an automated email to the fundraiser when registering for a personal fundraising page on your site.
This email welcomes the fundraiser to their account and provides tips on using CauseVox. We allow you to customize this email and can be used for anything, including:
Establishing a point of contact if the fundraiser has questions
Linking fundraising toolkits and guides
Detailing event or campaign information
Learn how to write a welcome email that rallies your fundraisers!
Here's an example of a welcome email:
Hi {{first_name}},
Thank you so much for joining our fundraising community for {{title}}!
Your participation in {{title}} will help girls in India have access to education— helping pave a way for women like Kalita, who through our services went on to become the first woman police officer in her village.
To help you fundraise, we’ve put together a fundraising toolkit full of resources to help you reach your fundraising goal.
Our {{title}} campaign will be having a closing event on October 25th at 6pm at 111 Orchard Drive, Madison, WI. We’d love to see you there!
If you have any questions about fundraising for the campaign, please reach out to me at [email protected].
Welcome to our community of advocates!
Best,
Stephanie
