Hello. We want to help your nonprofit reach more people. Many organizations send emails that land in spam folders. This happens because email systems do not recognize the sender. You can fix this with three simple settings. These settings prove your identity and keep your messages safe.
Why Deliverability Matters
For nonprofits, email is vital for donor outreach and volunteer coordination. If your emails fail to deliver, you lose support. Secure email for small business and nonprofits relies on authentication. Authentication tells the world that your message is real.
The Three Main Tools
We use a simple mailroom analogy to explain how this works.
1. SPF: The Approved List
SPF stands for Sender Policy Framework. It is a list of services allowed to send mail for your domain. If a service is not on the list, the email looks suspicious.
- What it does: Checks where the email came from.
- Why it helps: Prevents scammers from using your name.
2. DKIM: The Digital Stamp
DKIM stands for DomainKeys Identified Mail. It adds a digital signature to every email you send.
- What it does: Checks if the message was changed during delivery.
- Why it helps: Proves the content is exactly what you wrote.
3. DMARC: The Rulebook
DMARC stands for Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance. It tells email providers what to do if SPF or DKIM fails.
- What it does: Decides if a suspicious email should be blocked or sent to spam.
- Why it helps: Gives you a report on who is trying to impersonate your nonprofit.
