Why charities and ngos ask this
Appeals compete with everything else in the inbox. It usually surfaces the first time a real list goes out, when appeal messages, thank you notes and volunteer calls stop being a plan and become a send.
What it changes for you
Get this right and the outcome is donations that arrive the same day as the ask. Get it wrong and the cost shows up quietly, in messages nobody read and money already spent.
Doing it in the platform
The compose screen shows the segment count, the cost and the sender name before anything leaves, so the decision is made before the money moves.
