Acknowledge Donations by Email
Nonprofit Success Pack lets you send an acknowledgment email to a donor from a specific Opportunity record, or send multiple email acknowledgments simultaneously from the Opportunities tab.
When donations come through and you mark the Opportunities as Closed/Won, it's cause for celebration! After you're done throwing confetti, it's time to thank your donors. Nonprofit Success Pack lets you quickly and easily email your donors a custom thank you message, tracks who has been acknowledged, and the date the acknowledgment was sent.
