How does HV facilitate your Outreach Efforts to targeted audiences?

There are two ways to run your marketing outreach campaigns: using HV Email Messenger or Mailchimp. We recommend combining both tools to support your outreach efforts and keep your community engaged.

Note: Automatic Mailing Lists
 

Helpful Village includes several automatic mailing lists, such as:

• Active Members
• Active Volunteers
• All Prospects
• Prospect Members
• Prospect Donors
• Prospect Volunteers

These lists are updated automatically based on information in Helpful Village:

• Members: Based on membership information.
• Volunteers: Based on volunteer information and whether the volunteer is marked as Screened.
• Prospects: Based on their open prospect tasks.

This helps keep your mailing lists up to date as member, volunteer, and prospect information changes.
