Donor Appeal: a free nonprofit email template
Free, downloadable nonprofit email template. One real story, real numbers, a photo that is not stock, and a donation ask that says exactly where it goes.
One real story instead of a general appeal, real numbers next to it, a photo of an actual person the work helped, not a stock image, and a donation ask that states exactly where the money goes: Harbor is built for the update that earns the next gift, not just asks for it.
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.
