Your annual appeal goes to everyone — no personal inbox, no Bcc
Members, donors, volunteers: people who trust you with their address. A lot of community organizations still write to them from a personal Gmail with everyone in Bcc — which means no opt-out, no branding, and the whole list exposed the moment someone hits reply-all.
3,000 emails per month included · no credit card
The real cost of the Bcc approach
One person hits reply-all. Every address on the list is now visible. Two people unsubscribe by replying angrily instead of clicking a link that doesn't exist. Your next send lands in spam because the previous one triggered complaints.
Sending the annual fund appeal
- 1
You import your donor file, exported from your donor database or CRM. Mailcheer picks up email, first name and last name, removes duplicates, and a tag set at import sorts the whole file in one go.
- 2
You write the appeal. The assistant can draft it from the notes you give it; the amounts, the deadline and the stories stay yours.
- 3
The pre-send check reads your dates: "Tuesday, December 31" raises an alert if the 31st falls on a Wednesday. It also flags empty placeholder brackets and a missing postal address in the footer.
- 4
You schedule for Tuesday at 10 a.m.: a time when your audience checks their inbox, not a board meeting night.
- 5
After the send, the automatic follow-up writes to those who didn't open.
Sender identity and how to leave
Every send goes from your organization's name and domain — not a personal Gmail. The unsubscribe link is in the technical header: one click from the inbox, no password. An address that opts out stays out, even if you reimport the file next year.
Questions we get asked
What does it cost a nonprofit?
Nothing to start: the free plan covers 3,000 emails a month, every feature included, no credit card. Beyond that, you pay for sends, never for the size of your member list.
Our executive director and two volunteers both need access. Is that possible?
Yes. The Essential plan, at €19 a month, opens up to 10 seats; the free plan includes one. The account belongs to the organization — not to whoever set it up. Staff turnover doesn't mean starting over.
Your next appeal deserves a real sender
3,000 sends per month, no credit card. Enough for the appeal, the thank-you follow-up, and the volunteer newsletter.
