description: "AI can read new gifts from your donor database together with each donor history, such as first gift, repeat giving, the program they chose and any notes from staff. It drafts a short thank-you in your own voice that names the gift purpose and what it helps make possible, using only facts your team has approved. It also flags gifts that should get a call or handwritten note from a leader. A staff member reviews every letter, checks names and amounts, and approves it before it is sent, so each donor hears back quickly and accurately."

# How can AI help a nonprofit send timely, personal thank-you letters to donors?

AI can read new gifts from your donor database together with each donor history, such as first gift, repeat giving, the program they chose and any notes from staff. It drafts a short thank-you in your own voice that names the gift purpose and what it helps make possible, using only facts your team has approved. It also flags gifts that should get a call or handwritten note from a leader. A staff member reviews every letter, checks names and amounts, and approves it before it is sent, so each donor hears back quickly and accurately.

## What this means in practice

- Export new gifts each week with donor history and the program each gift supports.
- Keep a short list of approved program facts and stories the letters may use.
- Have AI draft a letter per gift and flag donors who should get a personal call.
- A staff member checks names, amounts and wording and approves each letter.
- Send within a few days of the gift and log the thank-you in the donor record.

## How Lid Vizion approaches it

We start with the business decision and operating context, define ownership and measurable milestones, then use configuration, integrations, automation, or custom software only where each earns its place.
