Grow Your Gifts: Google Doc Template Bundle

Monday, October 1, 2012

We’ve mentioned several uses of Google Docs to help you stay organized and communicate with your donors, volunteers and team members. Today, we’re going to share a few Google Doc templates our team has created for you to do just that.

Donor thank-you cards: Remind your supporters that their contributions make a difference. You can print these cards, fold in half, and include a personal greeting inside. Use with the 'Donor Mailing Labels’ template (below) to print out fun address labels for your envelopes.

Donor mailing labels: Add your donors’ names and addresses and print these out using label paper for encouraging and decorative mailing labels.

Event invitations: Add your event details to this template and email to your supporters. Be sure to embed a link to the RSVP form (below)!

Event RSVP: Stay organized by collecting RSVPs for your event online. Embed this form or email it to your invitees. Guests simply fill out the form with their information. Best of all, your attendee list will be organized in one spot, a Google Spreadsheet.

Newsletter templates: Email newsletters are a great way to stay in touch with your supporters and donors. Whether you send weekly, monthly or quarterly newsletters, be sure to include breaking news about your organization and give supporters a peek inside the operations, with volunteer anecdotes and a note from your leader. Check our three different templates: here, here or here.

Do you have any Google Doc templates that you use to stay organized and communicate with your donors and advocates? If so, please share them with us on our Google+ page. Make sure you join us later this week as we wrap up our Grow Your Gifts series with some great insights on Google Wallet.
