Imani Collective
Donor Development Strategy, Giving Tuesday, Church Partnerships. 3. Imani Collective Subject Line: Help us reach our #GivingTuesday Goal!! Why I love it: They have a very specific GivingTuesday fundraising goal of $32k and share the direct impact the funds will have. They share a brief problem and how YOU the reader can be part of the change. I donated to the Imani Collective campaign, not because of this first email, but because they shared a video in a follow-up email (below to the right) of their Joy Room experience. They were up in the middle of the night in Kenya celebrating ALL night long the gifts coming in AND they were giving back themselves as well.
