DO YOU NEED A NEW FUNDING SOURCE INÂ 2026?
Maybe your existing funding sources are drying up; your grant applications have not been successful; or you have become over reliant on only a few funders leaving you completely vulnerable.
Â
Don't overlook EMAIL FUNDRAISING which accounts for 11-28% of nonprofit funding.
Â
Â
Imagine if just 100 of the people on your list committed to an average of $25 per month. Will that make a difference?
Â
Email fundraising can be a predictable funding source if done consistently and not in panic. It is most effective when:
- Donors feel connected, informed, and appreciated.
- New email subscribers are welcomed and relevant information is immediately collected in order to segment them
- Subscribers are gently converted to donors in the background with perfectly timed email nudges
- One-time donors are gently converted to monthly donors so you can more effectively predict your income and plan accordingly
- Donors who fall off are re-activated through emotional storytelling
Yes, It Really Is Possible to get a new funding source in 2026 with an

Runs in the background alongside your regular newsletter quietly engaging with your supporters and turning them to donors without a heavy operational lift or ongoing work. It is consists of the following parts:
WELCOME EMAIL SEQUENCE
This email sequence introduces new supporters to your mission, values, and impact while building trust from day one.
- Through thoughtful storytelling, it helps supporters understand why your work matters, how their support makes a difference, and where they fit into the bigger picture.
- With simple engagement prompts, it also captures valuable information about supporter interests, allowing you to segment and prospect more strategically without adding extra work.
CONVERSION SEQUENCE
This is a strategically timed series of emails designed to guide engaged readers from interest to action. Gently turn turning readers into confident, motivated donors without pressure or last-minute appeals
- Each message removes common hesitation, answers unspoken questions, and presents giving as a natural next step.
- Supporters who show giving intent are guided toward making a donation
- Supporters who express interest in getting involved are nurtured toward volunteer opportunities
DONOR FOLLOW-UP RETENTION SEQUENCE
This sequence is a thoughtful post-donation email sequence designed to remove any doubts or regrets and reassure donors that their gift was given to the right organization, received, valued, and put to meaningful use.
- First, a timely, heartfelt thank-you that reassures donors their gift was received and appreciated.
- For one-time donors, it then provides periodic, well-timed reminders to give again by emotional storytelling
- Introduces opportunities to become a monthly donor, helping transform single gifts into ongoing support without pressure or constant appeals.
DONOR RE-ACTIVATION SEQUENCE
This sequence re-engages lapsed donors by rebuilding connection first, then inviting them back into giving—helping recover support that would otherwise be lost.
- Reminds donors why they supported your mission in the first place by sharing meaningful updates, impact stories, and progress—without leading with an immediate donation request.
- Once trust and relevance are re-established, the sequence introduces a low-pressure opportunity to give again, making it easy for supporters to re-engage when the timing feels right.
