Sending thank-you notes is an important way to make your donors feel appreciated, and also to keep up momentum for your fundraiser. Your donors will have the ability to reply back to your thank-you message.
Options for Thanking Donors
- Send an individual thank-you note to each donor through your GoFundMe account
- Post an update to your fundraiser 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 fundraiser
- 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.
