The templates should:
- Provide 4 versions: (1) Email 180-220 words, (2) Text/DM 45-80 words, (3) Facebook/Instagram post 90-140 words with a simple image idea, (4) LinkedIn post 120-180 words.
- Follow this order in each: (1) Why I’m involved (1-2 sentences), (2) 1-line org intro/what it does, (3) Specific impact ask with dollar handle ([IMPACT: $X = Y]), (4) Clear link early and again near the end, (5) Deadline/urgency, (6) Thanks + easy way to share.
- Use [BRACKETED] prompts volunteers can fill in: [YOUR NAME], [RELATIONSHIP/WHY I’M INVOLVED – 1-2 sentences], [ORGANIZATION NAME], [PROGRAM/CAUSE], [IMPACT: $X = Y], [GOAL AMOUNT], [DEADLINE DATE], [MATCH INFO optional], [FUNDRAISING PAGE LINK – short], [CITY/COMMUNITY], [PHOTO ALT-TEXT], [PRONOUNS optional].
- Include 3 email subject lines (5-7 words each) and 3 text/DM openers.

AI Evaluation Details (Score: 8.8/10)
This output is exceptionally thorough and well-structured, delivering all requested components with clear differentiation between three tone options. The templates are genuinely paste-ready with visible brackets, follow the specified order precisely, and include all required elements. Minor weaknesses include some repetitive phrasing across tones and a few instances where the casual tone could be more natural.
- • Perfect completeness: delivers all 4 message formats × 3 tones (12 templates total), plus 3 subject lines, 3 text openers, follow-up messages, and thank-you messages in all three tones
- • Excellent structural clarity: the opening placeholder list is extremely helpful for volunteers, and each template follows the exact requested order (why involved, org intro, impact ask, link placement, deadline, thanks/share)
- • Strong tone differentiation: the three tones are genuinely distinct—formal avoids contractions and emojis, warm is friendly without being overly casual, and casual uses natural conversational language with appropriate emoji use (0-2 as specified)
- • Truly paste-ready format: brackets are highly visible, pre-filled with scenario defaults, and volunteers can easily find-and-replace or keep the defaults
- • Mobile-friendly design: short paragraphs, bullet points for scannability, and concise text/DM versions that fit platform constraints
- • Specific and concrete impact: the $30 = one week of produce is consistently reinforced across all versions without becoming repetitive or guilt-inducing
- • Smart link placement: donation link appears early (within first 3 sentences) and is repeated near the end in every template, exactly as requested
- • Non-donation alternatives well-integrated: sharing and volunteer links are included naturally without diluting the primary CTA
- • Match messaging is clear and creates urgency without pressure: the date-specific match window is consistently mentioned across formats
- • Follow-up and thank-you messages are practical and tone-appropriate: these are often overlooked but critical for volunteer fundraisers
- • Some repetitive phrasing across tones: phrases like 'I am [YOUR NAME]' and 'Give again here' appear identically in formal and warm versions when they could be more differentiated ('I'm' vs 'I am', 'Donate again' vs 'Give again')
- • Casual tone occasionally feels slightly forced: 'Hot tip' and 'Big thanks' work, but 'Two clicks to stock a fridge' as a text opener feels more like marketing copy than peer-to-peer communication from a rural volunteer
- • Minor word-count inconsistencies: the Facebook/Instagram casual version appears to be at the high end of 90-140 words and could be tighter for actual social media use
- • The compliance line placement varies: it's marked 'optional' and appears at the end, but best practice would be to place it consistently after the signature in email versions for volunteers who need it
- • Email subject lines could be stronger: 'Join my Clear Fork fundraiser' (formal) and 'Hey neighbor—help me hit $600' (casual) are good, but several others are generic and could be more compelling or specific to the match/deadline urgency

AI Evaluation Details (Score: 6.4/10)
The output is structurally complete and well-organized, but it critically fails the tone requirement. The prompt explicitly requested FORMAL tone (no emojis, full words, board/corporate appropriate), yet the AI delivered WARM tone throughout all templates. This fundamental mismatch significantly reduces usefulness for the intended audience of professional colleagues.
- • Excellent structural organization with clear labels and all required components present
- • Good use of bracketed placeholders that are visible and easy to customize
- • Strong adherence to word counts across all four message versions
- • Clear, scannable formatting with effective use of bullets and white space
- • Includes all supplementary elements: subject lines, openers, follow-up, thank-you, and signature block
- • Concrete dollar handle and impact statement consistently reinforced
- • Link placement follows best practices (early and repeated)
- • Non-donation options (volunteer/share) appropriately included
- • Tax compliance language properly formatted as optional
- • CRITICAL ERROR: Delivered WARM tone when FORMAL was explicitly requested for corporate/board peer-to-peer asks
- • Uses casual phrasing inappropriate for formal context ('quick nudge,' 'quick favor,' 'any amount truly helps')
- • LinkedIn post tone doesn't match professional platform expectations for board-level communications
- • Email subject lines are too casual for formal corporate context ('Quick favor to help local students?')
- • Some redundancy in phrasing across templates reduces customization value
- • The phrase 'Talent is everywhere; opportunity is not' in LinkedIn version, while popular, borders on cliché
- • Missing the requested 0 emojis confirmation for formal tone (though none appear, the intro incorrectly states 'WARM-tone templates')

AI Evaluation Details (Score: 7.4/10)
The output delivers functional, well-structured templates that meet most requirements. However, it misinterprets the CASUAL tone request (delivering WARM instead), has structural issues with the text/DM template exceeding word count, and includes some awkward phrasing that reduces authenticity. The templates are usable but would benefit from tightening and tone correction.
- • Excellent structural adherence with clear [BRACKETS] throughout, making customization straightforward for volunteers
- • Strong compliance with technical requirements: includes all 4 message versions, 3 subject lines, 3 openers, follow-up, thank-you, P.S. line, and compliance language
- • Good use of concrete impact language ($50 = one night) positioned prominently with links early and repeated
- • Mobile-friendly formatting with short paragraphs, bullets, and scannable structure
- • Includes all optional elements (pronouns, tax ID, non-donation link) appropriately
- • Follow-up and thank-you messages are practical and appropriately brief
- • Tone mismatch: Prompt requested CASUAL (0-2 emojis, conversational) but output delivers WARM tone with no emojis and more formal language throughout all versions
- • Text/DM template is 95 words, significantly exceeding the 45-80 word requirement and defeating the purpose of a quick mobile message
- • Some awkward/robotic phrasing: 'If this is on your mind' (LinkedIn), 'Quick favor for HomeStart?' (opener feels transactional), 'Time-sensitive note:' (stiff)
- • Email subject lines are generic and lack urgency or personalization ('Help me reach my goal' is vague)
- • The relationship/why-I'm-involved text is inserted verbatim as a long bracketed block rather than being demonstrated as a natural 1-2 sentence integration, which may confuse volunteers
- • LinkedIn post doesn't leverage professional network context (could mention workplace giving, professional connection to cause)
- • Minor: 'Walk with me toward home' subject line is poetic but unclear about the ask
