Vital Vegan Education- Lives Changed, Lives Saved
Welcome to the Patreon page of Bite Size Vegan, an ever-expanding video-based free educational resource for vegan information and activism.

When I started Bite Size Vegan I didn't know if anyone was going to see my videos, but I wanted to at least try to make some difference for the animals. Since the day I sat on my floor in front of my computer and recorded that first video, Bite Size Vegan has grown so much! I've tackled many hard-hitting topics and I don't pull my punches!

I have a file on my computer filled with messages from people who've gone vegan because of the BSV videos and existing vegans who have, through the videos, found the confidence to speak up about veganism and take action for the animals. (you can read some of them here) I cannot put into words how much these messages mean to me and I want to continue this work- reach more people, save more animals, and change more lives. But I need your help.

Why Bite Size Vegan Needs Your Support
Bite Size Vegan is a minority among vegan YouTube channels as I focus primarily on the ethical aspects of veganism and speaking to non-vegans. Because this message is so important and also so easily and quickly rejected, it's vital that I present well-researched and documented information, which of course takes ample time and effort to produce.

A single video take anywhere from 20 to 100 hours or more to create! With the more "hardcore" educational videos reaching over 150 hours. [see these beasties] The time commitment necessary for me to produce these quality educational materials currently averages around 90-100++ hours a week, with the 100 hour range most typical. And while the ads on YouTube bring in a lil' nugget of money here and there, it's just enough to pay the yearly hosting fee for BiteSizeVegan.com

Bite Size Vegan is currently a one-woman operation (that's me!) and with your support I can continue at my current break-neck pace and (eventually) expand the reach of BSV's message even further!

What Does It Mean To Be a "Patron"?

When you become a Patron of Bite Size Vegan, you are saying that vegan education is important and vital work. You are taking a stand for the animals. You are enlisting in the Nugget Army and fighting for the liberation of all beings and the eradication of ignorance-based cruelty. I truly believe that education is where the vegan movement is going to gain the most ground.
By changing minds, we save lives.

What Do YOU Get For Becoming A Patron?
Aside from the pride you can take from being a card-carrying member of the Nugget Army, you'll also get some pretty awesome rewards (see the list below!) You'll be my front-line and have first-access to everything I'm creating, thinking and doing. And you'll have my undying gratitude and thanks.

Can I Give A One-Time Donation?
Absolutely! The Patreon platform, however, doesn't yet support that, but if you want to help BSV but don't want anything in return but the knowledge that you're supporting the continuation of effective education, you can always make a one-time donation at BiteSizeVegan.com

Where Does Your Money Go And How Much of It Comes to BSV?
Your support goes directly to the creation of more vegan education. I truly cannot continue this work without you! Your support will allow me to keep creating powerful videos as well as begin to expand into other areas of education including ecourses, written resources, and (hopefully one day) traveling speaking engagements like my mentor Gary Yourofsky. With your support, I can continue to give a voice to the voiceless and effectively advocate for the animals.

[and just a tech note, the number you see on this page is before fees and declined pledges- I usually receive 70-75% of what is listed]

What If You Can't Give?
If you're not in a place to support Bite Size Vegan financially, that is more than okay! There are so many ways to help out- subscribing to the channel, watching the videos, sharing them in every place you can think of, encouraging people to check out BSV's channel and website and to connect with me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Google+ and Tumblr, suggesting BSV to podcasts, magazines and websites for potential coverage, shopping through the BSV Amazon, V-Dog or Vegan Cuts affiliate links or Zazzle Store- all on the Shop Page, and anything else creative you can think of!

Whatever you do to support Bite Size Vegan, I am so very grateful! I genuinely appreciate each and every one of you- without you, I'm just a vegan in front of a camera - but together we can change the world.
