Aligned

DMARC Trust for Nonprofit Donor Communications Security

Nonprofits rely on donor trust and secure communications for their mission. Aligned helps you secure your email channels with DMARC, preventing impersonation and ensuring your appeals and updates reach supporters authentically.

The problem

Nonprofit organizations frequently send fundraising appeals, event invitations, and donor updates. The trust of their supporters is paramount. If a malicious actor successfully spoofs a nonprofit's domain, they can launch sophisticated phishing campaigns, diverting donations, collecting sensitive personal information, or damaging the organization's reputation. This directly impacts fundraising efforts and can lead to a significant loss of public confidence, making it harder to achieve their mission.

Nonprofits often use multiple third-party platforms for their outreach, including CRM systems (e.g., Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud), email marketing tools (e.g., Mailchimp, Constant Contact), and donation processing platforms. Manually overseeing DMARC compliance across these disparate services is overwhelming for often understaffed IT or communications teams. This complexity means many legitimate senders remain unaligned, making the organization an easy target for brand impersonation and scam emails.

How Aligned solves it

1
Ensure donor communications are authentically delivered by enforcing DMARC, building trust and preventing fundraising fraud.
2
Identify and align all third-party email senders (e.g., CRMs, donation platforms) to protect your brand's reputation.
3
Provide clear visibility into email authenticity, allowing your team to focus on mission delivery, not email security headaches.
