The daily friction

Why Non-Profit teams use Kerna

Donor thank-you emails feel templated — and templated thanks don't inspire repeat giving

Volunteer recruitment competes for attention with every other email in busy inboxes

Impact reports take days to write — they should be sent within weeks of campaigns, not months

Year-end giving appeals need warm, specific tone — generic appeals get deleted

Small admin teams can't write personalised correspondence at the scale donors expect

International donor and volunteer communities deserve correspondence in their language

What Kerna does

Built around how Non-Profit teams actually work.

Empathetic and enthusiastic tones

Donor communications work best when they feel genuine. Switch between warm-hearted, energetic, and gracious tones depending on the moment.

Multilingual donor outreach

For international NGOs and organisations with diverse supporter bases, communicating in donors' native languages signals respect and improves retention.

Templates for campaign rhythm

Lock in your organisation's voice across thank-yous, impact reports, and seasonal appeals. Different cause, same warmth.

Free tier for small organisations

Kerna's free tier covers most small non-profits getting started. Pro and Business plans scale for organisations with larger correspondence volumes.

Your Non-Profit inbox, sorted the way you sort it

Kerna starts you with five categories built for this industry and hands them to you in your own language. Rename them, rewrite them, or add one of your own. Nothing is fixed and nothing is saved until you say so.
