We Are For Good Podcast - The Podcast for Nonprofits 649. Retention Is a Love Language: Using AI to Communicate With More Care (Not Just More Often) - Crystal Clark, Amina Mohamed + Michael Mitchell
Retention is about relationships. But most donor communications either feel too rushed or too robotic. This session is about doing things differently with the power of AI, done responsibly.
We’re sitting down with three organizations that are using AI to help them show up better for their donors: writing magnetic messaging, personalizing with care + actually deepen connection. We’ll talk about how they’re saving time, scaling touchpoints, and staying true to their voice along the way.
You’ll hear the tools they’re using, the prompts that are working, and where they’ve drawn the line on what not to automate. It’s real talk on using AI to build trust… not just create more output.
