Case Study: ProGrace International Revolutionizes Community Engagement with SocialGlow

About ProGrace International

Industry: Nonprofit Organization
Focus: Transforming Christian responses to abortion through curriculum, resources, and community engagement.

ProGrace International, a Christian nonprofit, aims to create meaningful discussions and foster transformative change within their community. Their programs, designed for organizations like pregnancy centers and church groups, rely heavily on participant interaction for effectiveness. However, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic forced them to rethink how they could maintain their collaborative, discussion-based learning environment in a virtual space.

Challenge: Low Engagement and Fragmented Experiences

Before SocialGlow, ProGrace faced challenges that hindered participant interaction:

  1. Scattered Tools: Their courses and communities were spread across multiple platforms, such as Zoom and Facebook groups. This fragmentation led to low engagement and disrupted the sense of community.
  2. Limited Tracking: Engagement metrics were minimal, making it hard to measure the effectiveness of their programs.
  3. Distractions: Platforms like Facebook introduced distractions, making it hard for participants to focus.
  4. Technical Complexity: Existing tools were not user-friendly for the curriculum developers or the participants.

Solution: Consolidating Learning and Community with SocialGlow

In early 2023, ProGrace adopted SocialGlow to address these challenges. The platform offered an all-in-one solution that transformed how the organization delivered its curriculum and engaged with participants.

Key Features Utilized:

  • Centralized Platform: All resources, discussions, and courses are housed in one place, eliminating the need for participants to switch between tools.
  • Push Notifications: Encourages consistent participant interaction.
  • Professional Environment: Creates a distraction-free space for intentional learning and interaction.
  • User-Friendly Design: Simplified the backend setup for non-technical staff while providing a seamless experience for participants.
  • Customizable Features: Allowed ProGrace to integrate assessments and other enhancements to improve participant experience further.

Results: Enhanced Engagement and Participant Satisfaction

Since implementing SocialGlow, ProGrace has seen transformative results:

  1. Unprecedented Engagement:
    • Engagement scores skyrocketed, with participants now actively engaging in discussions.
    • As Katie Potts, Program and Operations Manager, noted, “We’ve gone from next to nothing to everybody’s talking to everybody all the time.”
  2. Improved Program Effectiveness:
    • Participants focus solely on the curriculum, free from external distractions.
    • The intentional design fosters deeper connections and more meaningful discussions.
  3. Streamlined Operations:
    • Easier management of curriculum by the staff.
    • Comprehensive control over participant experiences, from course content to community interactions.
  4. Stronger Feedback Loop:
    • Participants reported higher satisfaction, with surveys reflecting consistent improvements in program impact.
    • The transition to SocialGlow was met with positive feedback from both new and existing users.
  5. Scalable Movement:
    • ProGrace now uses SocialGlow as its primary platform for interaction, enabling the organization to scale its mission effectively.

Why SocialGlow Stands Out

Katie highlighted SocialGlow's unique value:

  • Professionalism: Participants perceive the platform as authoritative and focused, unlike social media alternatives.
  • Responsive Support: The SocialGlow team provides timely assistance and adapts to user needs, making the platform accessible even for non-technical users.
  • Future-Proof Investment: ProGrace has fully integrated its operations into SocialGlow, relying on it as the backbone of its movement.

Final Thoughts

Switching to SocialGlow has been transformative for ProGrace International. The platform has not only solved their engagement challenges but also empowered them to advance their mission of creating a movement for change.

Katie Potts shared, “We’ve never had our participants so engaged. SocialGlow allows us to focus entirely on our mission without the distractions of other platforms. It’s been a game-changer.”

If you’re ready to elevate your organization’s engagement and simplify operations, SocialGlow could be your solution.
