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 a difference for the animals and our planet.

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! Over the years I've tackled many hard-hitting topics. And while my goal is to create content that's approachable and accessible, I never compromise the truth 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 Bite Size Vegan 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 these testimonials throughout this post, and find even more here.]

I cannot put into words how much these messages mean to me. And now that I've been able to start traveling the world giving speeches, I've had the honor of hearing some of these stories in person. I don't ever think I'll stop being amazed that my awkward fumblings have somehow impacted people and entire families all over the world!

I not only want to continue this work of amassing a freely accessible video and written database for research-backed vegan education, but also expand Bite Size Vegan's mission into avenues beyond YouTube—to reach more people, save more animals, and change more lives. But I need your help.

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 can take anywhere from 20 to 100 hours or more to create! With the more "hardcore" educational videos reaching over 150 hours and full length speeches requiring months of intensive research and preparation.

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 (with a large number of my videos deemed "not fit for advertising" by YouTube) 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!

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.

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.

The Patreon platform does not currently support one-time donations, outside of pledging and then cancelling your pledge. However, there are alternative ways to support Bite Size Vegan financially. You can always make a one-time donation at BiteSizeVegan.com, or if you prefer something more concrete, check out the BSV Wishlist.

Your support goes directly to the creation of more vegan education. If you want to see a more detailed breakdown of how Patreon pledges are allocated, click the image below to expand the full infographic. Please note that due to the extreme variability from month to month in both pledge income and expenses, the numbers given are best estimates based on averages.

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 (be sure to "enable notifications" by clicking the bell after subscribing), 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.
