Improve Your Nonprofit Email Open Rates — While Helping Others Do the Same

If you’ve noticed your own nonprofit emails ending up in junk or promotions folders, you’re not alone. This contest is built on the same principle that email engagement improves deliverability.

Here’s how it works:

Email providers like Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo prioritize engagement. If your audience isn’t opening, clicking, or replying, your emails are more likely to be filtered out. On the other hand, consistent engagement builds sender reputation, which increases inbox placement and improves your open rates.

When you participate, you:

Help yourself stay in the loop with free resources, time-sensitive workshops, and exclusive discounts
Help other nonprofit professionals who aren’t receiving our emails right now due to inbox filtering
Help us recover from a recent technical issue and human error that disrupted inbox delivery

Actionable Tips to Improve Open Rates for Your Nonprofit Emails

We want this contest to help everyone — so we’re sharing some best practices you can use in your own email campaigns:

🔧 Segment your list based on engagement:

0–30 days: Highly engaged — send more often
31–60 days: Moderately engaged — weekly or bi-weekly
61–90 days: Occasional sending
91–180 days: Low engagement — reduce frequency
181–365 days: Very low — send a re-engagement campaign or consider sunsetting

Clean your list regularly:

Suppress or remove contacts who haven’t opened in 6–12 months
Avoid sending full campaigns to cold lists — it damages your domain’s sender reputation

🔍 Monitor your domain:

Use Google Postmaster Tools to see how your domain is performing. It helps you track:

Spam complaints
Reputation
Authentication success (SPF, DKIM, DMARC)
Delivery errors

These same engagement principles are why your clicks and replies during the contest make such a difference.
