Fix Your Email Deliverability
Make sure your emails actually reach donors — not spam folders
If your open rates look off, clicks are down, or emails seem to disappear… it might not be your content.
It’s your email authentication.
This course walks you through exactly how to fix it.
If your emails aren’t getting through…
Google and Yahoo rolled out new email authentication requirements.
These aren’t recommendations.
They’re requirements.
And a lot of nonprofits still haven’t updated their settings — not because they don’t care, but because acronyms like DMARC, SPF, DKIM, and DNS feel technical, intimidating, and easy to ignore.
The result?
Emails landing in spam
Inconsistent or declining open rates
Donors simply not seeing what you send
This course helps you get compliant and confident — without turning this into an IT project.
How to use this
This is a practical, DIY walkthrough that helps you:
Understand what DMARC, SPF, DKIM, and DNS actually do (in plain English)
Check whether your email is properly authenticated
Fix common setup issues step by step
Know when you’re done — and don’t need to touch this again
No guessing. No endless Googling. No hoping your emails make it through.

About us
Rachel Bearbower
I’ve been in the trenches of an underfunded, under-resourced nonprofit. I was an Executive Director doing exactly what you might be doing right now — and then I missed thanking a major donor.
That moment changed everything.
Not because I didn’t care. Because I didn’t have a system.
That’s when I became obsessed with building donor stewardship systems that actually work — so nonprofits can stop trying to do more with less, and you never have to carry that guilt again.
