Powerful, evidence-based communication is an essential component of mission-driven work, so Grow Progress is selecting two organizations to each receive a fully-funded partnership package to be applied toward audience, message, and creative testing research.
These grants are designed to help organizations go into 2026 knowing what persuades their target audiences.
We're awarding one grant to each of the following:
- 🔵 A nonprofit organization working on narrative change or brand marketing efforts.
- 🔴 An advocacy organization, PAC, or political group working on an upcoming election or issue campaign
Who Should Apply?
Nonprofit track — You're a 501(c)(3) or similar nonprofit organization working on social, environmental, health, education, economic, or community issues.
Electoral & Advocacy track — You're a 501(c)(4), PAC, campaign, or ballot measure committee work to impact the 2026 election.
In both cases, you should:
- Have a clear upcoming initiative or campaign that would benefit from audience and message research
- Be prepared to begin research within 60 days of selection
- Be ready to engage with the findings and apply them to your work
- Be willing to partner on a public case study following the conclusion of the research partnership
