About this template

A Giving Tuesday email for nonprofits with a matching donor. The match is the whole story, so the email says it early and makes each gift a single tap.

A deep blue band holds a left aligned serif headline, a short note on who is matching, and a framed photo of a river crew at work. Three boxed figures under the band state the size of the match, the multiplier and the time it ends. Three cards then show gift amounts, what each pays for once doubled, and a button to give that amount.

Fill in your real donor, your real fund and your real closing time, and only use the word match if a donor has truly pledged it. The numbers here are the goal of a fictional trust. Send it first thing in the morning, with a shorter reminder after dinner.
