Discovery + Analysis

We conducted an in-depth analysis of 16 online VegFund campaigns, including impact reports of each campaign, opportunities for improvement, and recommended next steps. As part of our analysis, we also conducted focus group interviews and online research to draw evidence-based conclusions about messaging and programming, and position each campaign within the broader issue space to see how we could measure social impact.

The Results

We identified and developed a proprietary formula for VegFund to measure grantees’ effectiveness at driving positive behavior change:

  • Rebuilt the organization’s Google Ad Grant account from the ground up, allowing us to drive deeper search effectiveness.
  • Created personalized recommendations and worked hands-on with 16+ online campaigns to improve results.
  • Conducted a deep systems audit of Grant Management platforms and Customer Relationship management (CRM) tools
  • Developed six distinct audience personas based on in-depth keyword research, survey analysis, and subject matter expertise
  • Led a one-hour webinar on findings and implications for online campaigners to hundreds of advocates and activist
