Donor Update

Q: How do I know the Donor Update output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: Leads with sincere, specific thanks — not a thinly veiled new ask; Impact is concrete and donor-attributed ("because of you…"), not generic; Includes a human story or glimpse, not just numbers; Makes the donor feel part of the mission (belonging), not a transaction.

Write a warm donor update or stewardship message that makes a supporter feel their gift mattered. Use when asked to write a donor update, a thank-you/stewardship email, a supporter newsletter, or a gift acknowledgement. Produces a donor-centred update — sincere thanks, the specific impact of their support, a brief story, and a light, optional next step — that strengthens the relationship and sets up the next gift.

🗣 Say this to your agent

“Write a donor update.”“Write a thank-you email to our donors.”“Write a gift acknowledgement.”“Write our supporter newsletter.”

What to give it

▸The audience — all donors, a segment (major/recurring/first-time), or one person; and how personal.

▸What their support did — the specific impact/outcome to report (numbers and/or a story).

▸The occasion — gift acknowledgement, periodic update, milestone, or year-end.

▸Tone & next step — your voice, and whether there's a light ask or purely stewardship (often better).

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓Leads with sincere, specific thanks — not a thinly veiled new ask

✓Impact is concrete and donor-attributed ("because of you…"), not generic

✓Includes a human story or glimpse, not just numbers

✓Makes the donor feel part of the mission (belonging), not a transaction

✓Any ask is light and optional — stewardship first

✓Tone is warm and personal; invented figures are marked for replacement

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not make a "thank-you" that's really just another donation ask — stewardship builds the next gift

Do not be generic ("thanks for your support") — name the specific impact their gift had

Do not present invented impact as real — mark placeholders for the org

Do not write like a corporation — warmth and a real human voice retain donors

Do not omit the story — numbers thank the head, a story thanks the heart
