Sending thank-yous is an important way to make your donors feel appreciated, and also to keep up momentum and sharing for your campaign.
You can thank your donors in these ways:
- Send an individual thank-you note through your GoFundMe account
- Post an update to your campaign expressing your appreciation (this is great if you have a lot of people to thank!) It will email the thank-you update to your followers' inboxes
- If you know the donor and already have their contact information, send them a quick text or give them a call
To send an individual thank-you from your computer or mobile browser:
- Sign in to your account at gofundme.com/sign-in and navigate to your campaign
- Scroll down to "Donations"
- Select "Say Thanks" under the donor's name to send a thank you
If you send an individual thank you from the app, you'll have the ability to save your thank you message as a template, so you can send it to new incoming donors.
To send an individual thank you from the app, follow these steps:
