Giving Tuesday Templates for Manatee Protection Groups

Hi [First name],

Last winter, a volunteer at the springs spotted [Animal's name]. She was thin and shivering from cold stress, with a fresh propeller scar on her back from a boat strike.

Since then, our team has kept busy with rescues and rehab. Next week is Giving Tuesday, and we're raising $1,000 for 20 days of warm-water rehab care at $50 a day.

Early gifts build momentum, so we're starting with people who've stood with manatees before. Would you come back with an early gift?

Hi [First name],

It's Giving Tuesday, and today is the day. Last week we shared [Animal's name]'s story. Today we're working toward $1,000, enough for 20 days of warm-water rehab care, and we're at [Total raised] so far.

Here's what your gift pays for:

• $25: half a day of rehab care, fresh lettuce and food for one manatee
• $50: one full day of warm-water rehab care
• $100: two days of care, including water heating and medical supplies

100% of your gift goes to manatee rescue and rehab. We use Zeffy, a platform that's free for nonprofits.

Will you give today?

Hi [First name],

Thank you. Because of you, we raised [Total raised] from [Number of donors] donors. That means [Outcome reached].

Every day of warm water you paid for is a day a manatee can rest and heal.

Remember [Animal's name], the manatee with the propeller scar? Next, our team will keep caring for her through the cold months, and we'll share how she's doing.

Our December appeal is coming soon. If you'd like to keep going before then, you can here: [Year-end appeal link]
