Prepare donor messages with a clear approval trail

Work from approved impact facts and fictional records. Build a reviewable follow-up queue before connecting a live donor system.

Start with a safe sample

Download the fictional input and acceptance checklist. Use the same material with both finalists. This is a teaching exercise; vendor features and end-to-end integrations have not been tested here.

  1. Step 1

    Define who may receive a message

    Use the existing fictional donor fixture. Check consent and suppressions before drafting; a donation alone is not a universal marketing permission.

  2. Step 2

    Draft from approved facts

    Give the tool an impact fact sheet and ask it to flag missing information. Do not infer personal circumstances or invent outcomes.

  3. Step 3

    Review the queue

    Confirm eligible recipients, duplicates, facts and tone. Assign a reviewer and keep the original record available.

  4. Step 4

    Keep delivery separate

    Test exports with fictional data. Approve each live handoff and retain a failure log; this kit does not send messages.

What counts as a pass?

  • Suppressed and ineligible records stay out of the queue.
  • Names and donation facts match the input.
  • No invented impact claim or sensitive personal inference appears.
  • A named reviewer approves before delivery.

If a critical check fails, keep the current manual process. Record the failed output and correction time. Faster output is useful only when it meets the agreed standard.
