Nonprofit: invite someone you helped

Sent to someone the nonprofit served or supported. A tactful, dignified, pressure-free invitation to share their experience.

Asking someone you have served for their story requires care above all, because their dignity matters more than any testimonial. This template gives them complete control, makes clear there is no obligation, and centers the ask on helping the next person reach out. Copy it free and make it yours.

Subject

Only if it feels right

Email body

Hi {{name}},

We were glad to walk alongside you through {{product}}, and we hope things feel a little steadier now. This note comes with no obligation at all.

If it ever feels right, would you share whatever part of your experience you are comfortable putting into words? Only what you choose, nothing you would rather keep. There is no wrong way to say it, and a single honest line is more than enough.

{{link}}

We are a small team, and when someone considering reaching out hears it in the words of a person who has been there, it can be the thing that helps them take the step. Thank you, truly, either way.
