How to thank your supporters (with templates)
Copy and use these templates to thank your fundraising supporters.
Saying thank you is one of the most important parts of any fundraiser. It shows your supporters that their help matters and builds strong relationships for future fundraising efforts.
Luckily, thanking supporters doesn't have to be complicated or time-consuming. A simple, sincere message goes a long way.
Here's how to do it — plus easy templates you can copy and use.
1. Thank early and often.
You don't have to wait until your fundraiser ends to send a quick thank-you note. Instead, send one when someone shares or supports your effort.
Pro Tip: A short text or post is usually better than a long letter.
2. Make it personal (when you can).
If you know the supporter personally, mention something specific, like their relationship to the team or a small detail that shows you notice them.
If you don't know them personally, a general but sincere thank-you note still means a lot.
3. Keep it short, sweet, and grateful.
It doesn't need to be long. It just needs to feel meaningful.
