Donor retention is won in the days after a gift, not the next appeal. Scribble sends real handwritten thank-yous and milestone notes the moment a donation lands — personalized from your donor database and mailed in days, so giving feels like a relationship, not a transaction.
Scribble is an automated handwritten letter service for nonprofits professionals. It sends real ink-on-paper notes triggered by CRM events — first gift, recurring milestone, campaign or year-end gift — personalized from your data and mailed in 3–5 business days. No manual writing, no envelope stuffing.
"The average nonprofit loses more than half its first-time donors before they ever give again, and the number-one reason donors cite is that they never felt their gift mattered. A templated receipt and an automated email don't fix that. A handwritten thank-you — arriving days after the gift, naming what their generosity made possible — is one of the most effective and most neglected retention tools in fundraising."
Scribble fires a personalized handwritten letter at each of these automatically.
A new donor's first gift triggers a warm handwritten welcome — the single most powerful moment to convert a one-time giver into a lasting supporter.
Mark a sustaining donor's anniversary or a giving milestone with a personal note that says you noticed — the recognition that keeps monthly gifts coming.
When a major appeal or year-end gift comes in, a handwritten thank-you arrives before the next ask, making donors feel valued rather than mined.
A sincere 'we miss you and here's what your past support did' note re-engages lapsed donors far better than another fundraising email.
Higher donor retention, more second gifts, and supporters who feel like partners in the mission — all without pulling your team off the work that matters.

AI drafts a warm, specific note using the real context from your data — names, details, what actually happened.
We handwrite it in real ink, stuff it in an envelope, stamp it, and mail it. Your client holds it in 3–5 business days.
Yes. Scribble integrates natively with HubSpot and connects to Bloomerang, Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud, DonorPerfect, Little Green Light, and most donor databases through Zapier. When a gift is recorded or a donor is tagged, Scribble can fire the matching note — personalized with the donor's name and mailed automatically.
Scribble's notes are thank-yous, not formal acknowledgments — though you can include gift-acknowledgment language if your jurisdiction allows it. Most nonprofits send the official tax receipt through their CRM and use Scribble for the warm, personal thank-you that actually retains the donor. The two work best together.
Retention is the cheapest fundraising there is — keeping a donor costs far less than acquiring one — and Scribble's per-letter pricing scales with volume. Many organizations start with first-gift and major-gift thank-yous (the highest-impact moments) and expand from there. Book a demo for pricing matched to your donor volume.
Yes — that's the point. Each note is drafted using the donor's name and the context of their gift, so a first-time $25 giver and a long-time major donor receive genuinely different messages. You can set templates per segment and review drafts, or let trusted triggers run automatically.
No pressure. No pitch deck. Just a conversation about what you need.
