Charity email examples that build community
Written by the studio that designs and codes these emails every week — with real examples from client programmes.
The strongest examples share four traits: one clear job per email, brand-matched typography, mobile-first structure, and code that renders identically across Gmail, Outlook and Apple Mail. Real client examples below.
The examples on this page come from real client programmes we designed and coded — not concept pieces made for Dribbble. Browse the full case studies to see complete programmes with context.
What makes these work
- Hierarchy before decoration — one job per email, one dominant call to action
- Brand carried into the inbox — typography and colour that match the website, so the email feels owned
- Mobile-first structure — most opens happen on phones; the desktop version adapts up, not down
- Code that keeps the design intact — the best design fails if Outlook mangles it

Single emails only tell half the story — sequencing, timing and consistency across a flow is where revenue actually comes from. See the full Klaviyo flow suite case study for a complete lifecycle system, or our service page for what a project includes.
