Growth
Engages with donors to share project updates, announce new initiatives
Operating in the NGO sector, Art of Living regularly engages with donors to share project updates, announce new initiatives, and facilitate contributions. As donor interactions increasingly shifted to WhatsApp, the organization required a structured and scalable system to manage communications efficiently while maintaining transparency and responsiveness. To address this need, Art of Living adopted Picky Assist’s WhatsApp CRM and automation platform.
The challenge
As donor outreach and engagement activities expanded, Art of Living faced several communication and coordination challenges:
-
High volume of donor communication
Regular updates, announcements, and donation-related messages needed to be sent at scale
-
Manual donor engagement
Sharing project updates and donation links individually was time-consuming
-
No centralized donor communication system
The team relied heavily on manual replies, which resulted in slower responses and missed follow-up opportunities.
-
Delayed responses to donor queries
Supporters requesting updates or receipts often experienced response delays
