Donately + PenPals

Send PenPals handwritten cards for new Donately donations

Donor gratitude often falls through the cracks when staff are juggling multiple tasks. With this Zap, every time a new donation is logged in Donately, a matching real-ink card is automatically created and sent in PenPals, pre-addressed to the supporter. Your team spends zero extra effort while donors receive a timely, personal thank-you that deepens their connection to your cause.
