Opened by Hand

Nonprofits

Handwritten mail for nonprofits.

Thank donors in a way they keep, win back lapsed givers and fill your events.

Examples

Say thank you in a way a donor keeps on the fridge.

  1. A thank-you note held on a refrigerator by a magnet next to a crayon drawing: Maria, your gift fed 40 families this month. Thank you! - Ana.
