Q: How do I track volunteer shift confirmations?

Export your volunteer schedule from your volunteer management system (or spreadsheet) as a CSV. Include shift date, time, role, and volunteer email. ReachClaw sends automated reminders 24 hours before each shift. If someone replies 'I can't make it,' you'll see that in your Gmail inbox and can manually reassign. For shift confirmations, include a calendar invite link in your template.

Q: Can I use this for peer-to-peer fundraising campaigns?

Yes. If you're running a peer-to-peer campaign (walkathon, giving day), export your participant list as a CSV and create email sequences for: welcome/training emails, fundraising milestone celebrations ($100 raised, $500 raised), peer coaching tips, and thank-you emails post-event. Each participant gets automated support throughout their fundraising journey.

Q: What if someone unsubscribes from our emails?

ReachClaw maintains a global suppression list. If someone unsubscribes, they won't receive any marketing or fundraising emails. However, transactional emails (donation receipts, volunteer shift confirmations) can still be sent since those are expected and often legally required for tax receipts. You stay compliant with anti-spam laws while maintaining necessary communications.

Q: How does this work with our donor database?

ReachClaw works standalone via CSV exports. Export donor lists from your CRM (Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud, Bloomerang, DonorPerfect, etc.) and upload to ReachClaw for email automation. After campaigns, you can manually update your CRM or keep ReachClaw as your email communication layer while your CRM stores donor history. No direct integration required—just export and upload whenever you run a campaign.

Q: Can volunteers or board members help manage this?

Yes. You control the Gmail account connected to ReachClaw. If you want a volunteer to help review donor thank-yous in co-pilot mode, share your login or have them work from your computer. For routine automation (volunteer reminders, small donor thank-yous), set autopilot mode and nobody needs to touch it. Most nonprofits use co-pilot for major donors and autopilot for everything else.

Q: How much does it cost for a small nonprofit?

Most small nonprofits (annual budget <$500K) start with our Solo plan at $6.99/month, which includes 500 automated emails per month. That covers donor thank-yous, volunteer coordination, and small campaigns for typical volunteer-run organizations. Growing nonprofits with dedicated fundraising staff use our Growth plan ($29.99/mo, 2,000 emails) for larger campaigns and event promotion.

Question 1

Can I segment emails by donor giving level?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Upload your donor CSV with giving amount and history, then create different email templates for major donors ($1,000+), regular donors ($100-$999), and small donors (<$100). Major donors can get personalized appeals reviewed in co-pilot mode, while smaller gifts get automated thank-yous. You control the segmentation and messaging for each group.
