Capital Campaign: a free fundraising email template
Free, downloadable fundraising email template. Academic navy and warm brick, a live thermometer instead of a single ask, tiered giving and the actual building.
A general donor appeal and a capital campaign are not the same email: Cornerstone is built for the second, with a live thermometer toward a stated dollar goal, named giving tiers, and a photo of the actual building instead of one person's story.
Copy for AI puts this whole template on your clipboard, hosted image included. Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, or whichever LLM you work in and have it rework the email however you wish: the copy, the colors, the layout, the image. It stays a real, sendable email the whole time.
If you ask the AI to render its own live preview of the pasted code, that preview's own sandbox can block external images from showing. That is a limit of the AI tool's preview, not this template: the code and the image both work fine wherever you actually send or publish the email.
Download HTML hands you the same email as a file, ready to send as-is. Free either way: no signup, nothing gated behind an email address, and every template works for the newsletter and for regular mail alike.
