Nonprofit Newsletter Template — Annual Report Highlights
Turn a 40-page annual report into an email donors actually finish: three headline numbers, one story the totals can't tell, and a link to the full document.
Preview unavailable — view the prompt below.
The prompt
Two ways to build this email in plain language. The fastest is Temway's in-editor assistant — open the chat drawer in the email editor and paste the recipe below. Or connect Claude or ChatGPT via Temway's MCP and paste it there; the agent builds the email step by step. Either way, adapt the copy and colors to your brand.
- An email is a top-to-bottom stack of blocks — the recipe follows that order.
- A
[layout]step becomes a single image (great for heroes); everything else stays live text and links. - Theme the footer to match — the recipe's last step does exactly that.
Want this exact email? Click Use this template below to clone
it into your workspace, then ask the in-editor assistant to rebrand it. Over MCP, tell
your agent to clone the Temway share 9j9zsVA8eCDWf6jzM6H2D and rebrand. For the
full model, point an MCP agent at get_concept — email-structure,
layouts-vs-emails, design-recipes.
Nobody reads the annual report. They read the email about the annual report — so this one carries the three numbers that matter, one story that explains what the numbers felt like on the ground, and a single link for the people who do want all forty pages. Warm paper tones, a serif face, and gold figures big enough to read at arm’s length.
Snapshot
- Goal: get donors to absorb the year’s results in ninety seconds, and give the curious minority a route to the full report.
- Audience & tone: people who already gave. Institutional but human — grateful without gushing, specific instead of sweeping.

Make it yours
- Swap the three figures for yours, and put the least flattering one in the middle — a report that only reports wins reads like marketing.
- Replace the story with one person, one month, one outcome. Resist summarising a programme; the specificity is what the numbers can’t do.
- Keep the gold figures against the warm paper, or move to your brand accent — just keep the figure and its label in the same two-tone pairing so the eye groups them.
About newsletter email templates
A newsletter is the one email category built for a relationship, not a single moment. There is no hard deadline and no one dominant CTA — the job is to show up on a predictable cadence often enough that subscribers recognize the format and know where to look for the update they actually care about.
See all newsletter templates →How is a newsletter template different from a promotional email template?
A newsletter is built for a recurring cadence and a returning audience — the design favors consistent section structure, so readers know where to look each issue, over a single hard sell. Promotional templates are built around one offer and one deadline instead.
What sections should a company newsletter include?
Most effective newsletters below hold to three or four recurring sections — a short editor's note, one or two curated highlights, and a closing link or two — rather than trying to cover everything that happened since the last send.
Can I reuse the same newsletter template every month?
Yes, and it's the recommended approach — clone it once, then swap the content each cycle so subscribers recognize the format immediately instead of relearning a new layout every send.
Do Temway newsletter templates support an unsubscribe link and merge tags?
Yes — every template includes a compliant unsubscribe footer and supports Temway's merge-tag picker for personalizing subject lines and greetings per recipient.
