For associations and member organizations

Thanksgiving ecards for associations

Your members renew, volunteer and show up all year. Thanksgiving is a natural time to thank them, with your association's name on it, before the year-end renewal season. These Thanksgiving ecards for associations are short animated cards with your logo, colors and words, sent by email to members, volunteers, sponsors and partners, and you see the finished card before you pay.

Made for an association

A Thanksgiving card that looks like your association

Type your association's website address and the card takes your brand colors and finds your logo. Or drop in a logo file and the colors are read from it. Then every line of text is yours: the greeting, the thank-you, and whether it comes from the president, the executive director, the board or the whole staff.

The result is a Thanksgiving ecard for members that plays like a short film, with your logo, your colors, your words and music, full screen on a phone. On a Photo & Text design you can add your own photos: your annual meeting, a volunteer day, the people your members will recognize. It plays on its own web page, and the email that carries it to your members is designed for you, with an animated or still graphic of the card. The demo on this page was set up for an association; press Make this yours and the studio opens it, ready for your own logo.

What to write in a Thanksgiving message to members

The member appreciation notes that read best are short and specific. A good Thanksgiving message to members thanks them for something they did this year, wishes them a good holiday, and says who it is from. Leave the dues reminder and the event pitch for another email; the card's ending links can carry those. Start from one of these and change any word.

To members

"This Thanksgiving, we are grateful for every member who made this year possible."

"Thank you for being part of our community. Wishing you a restful Thanksgiving."

To volunteers and the board

"To our members, volunteers and partners: thank you. Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at [association name]."

"Thank you for the hours you gave to our committees, our events and our members this year. We could not do it without you."

To sponsors and partners

"Thank you for standing behind our members and our work this year. Happy Thanksgiving from [association name]."

"We are grateful for partners like you. Wishing you and your team a warm Thanksgiving."

To your own staff

"To everyone who answered a member's question this year: thank you. Happy Thanksgiving."

Ecard or printed card for your members?

Some associations still mail a printed card to the board and the largest sponsors. An association Thanksgiving email carrying a card reaches every member on the list, at one price, the same week.

Who should get your association's Thanksgiving card

  • Members: long-standing members, this year's new members and those whose renewal is coming up.
  • Board and committee volunteers: the people who give their evenings to the association.
  • Sponsors and partners: exhibitors, affiliated organizations and the companies that support your programs.
  • Your staff, who answer the phone and run the events.

A card holds one message, so many associations make two: a member appreciation card for the whole membership, and one for the volunteers, sponsors and partners who carried the year with you. Copy the first card, change the words, and both live in the same account.

Why Thanksgiving works for an association

Most of what a member hears from an association in the fall asks for something: renew, register, vote, volunteer. A Thanksgiving card asks for nothing. It arrives before the December rush, when inboxes are quieter, and it carries no faith, only gratitude, so it suits every member on the list. Sent before the renewal notices go out, it reminds members what they belong to. Many associations send a Thanksgiving thank-you and a holiday card in December; see the holiday designs.

Approved by your executive director and board before you pay

A card that goes to every member usually needs a yes from the executive director, the president or the board chair, and sometimes from a communications committee. Press Send for approval and pass on the link. It shows the real, finished card with a watermark, has nothing to download, and needs no account, so a volunteer board member can watch it on a phone between meetings.

When the card is approved, answer one question at checkout and the clean card is made in about one to two minutes. Nothing is bought until someone says yes, and if a typo turns up later, fix it and make the video again, free.

When to send an association Thanksgiving email

US Thanksgiving is Thursday, November 26, 2026. Send it the week before, Monday to Wednesday, when it lands in an inbox people are reading rather than a long weekend. If we send it, you can schedule it ahead of time.

Members in Canada celebrated on Monday, October 12. An association with members in both countries can send the same card twice: the card's page stays live for a set number of days from the later of your purchase and your last send, and another send extends it. See all the Thanksgiving ecards.

Your member list stays in your hands

There are two ways to send, at the same price.

  • Send it yourself. We design the email; you send it from Mailchimp, Constant Contact, Outlook or another provider. Your member list never leaves your own system.
  • We send it. Import your list and every address is checked before the send. Unsubscribes are handled for you, permanently, and you get a report afterward.

Either way, the email is designed and tested to render as widely as possible, and the card's own page sets no cookies on your members and is kept out of search engines. How each way works · Privacy.
