Create a guide: How to write a donor acknowledgement

[mmaecruz]

Overview

We need to create a guide to making donor acknowledgement so that projects can thank donors quickly without having to get org approval for each letter.

Action Items

• Gather examples of how other Hack for LA projects have done, adding each example as a link in the resources section
  • Once done, remove the "TG: Gather Examples" label and add the "TG: Draft Template" label
• Create a draft template, either in markdown format in this issue or a google doc in the product management google drive
  • Once done, remove the "TG: Draft Template" label and add the "TG: Create Guide" label
• Create a guide on how to use the template
  • Once done, remove the "TG: Create Guide" label and add the "TG: Review Guide" label
• Review the guide with product management communities of practice
  • Once done, remove the "TG: Review Guide" label and add the "TG: Leadership Review" label
• Present to Hack for LA leadership team for sign off
  • Once approved, remove the "TG: Leadership Review" label and add the "TG: Place Guide" label
• Possibly create an issue template on .github
  • Include link to template under resources if you add it as a template in .github

• Refer to Create a document template for Guides product-management#123 for how to write a guide and the guide template

Discussed with @mmaecruz regarding the next steps, we will draft the letter to Food Oasis donors and include an ask of "Would you like to be informed of upcoming volunteer opportunities including XYZ"
