Grassroots Campaigns

Activate the Base Email Sequence

A three-email sequence that converts passive supporters into active fundraisers who each work their own network.

How to use this template

Send Email 1 at launch, Email 2 about three days in, and Email 3 in the final 48 hours. The goal is 31 fundraisers, not 31 donors.

Email 1 — Activate (send at launch)

Subject: We need 31 people to step up.

[First name], we have wide support — but support is not the same as coordination.

We are not just asking for a donation today. We are asking you to claim a day on our calendar and activate your own network. Claim Day 25, and you ask your people for $25.

This is how small donors become collective power: 31 fundraisers, not 31 donors. Every day that gets filled strengthens our movement.
