Whose World?](https://funkybrownchick.com/case-study-whose-streets-whose-world/) - Here's the thing: think tanks often have the momentum and membership base. When a political window opens, the urge to act fast is real. But acting without a protective framework can backfire. A prominent DC-based think tank turned their momentum into a policy paper. Within a month a government institution adopted their recommendation. However, shortly thereafter, a new administration reversed it by executive order, using the think tank's own words as justification. We saw it coming. Here's what we built from it. - [Case Study: The Film the World Wasn't Ready For](https://funkybrownchick.com/case-study-the-film-the-world-wasnt-ready-for/) - From international film festivals to community theater productions and local art galleries, visuals and stories move people in ways that statistics and policy briefs simply cannot. Documentary films are uniquely effective at making the abstract harms of racism concrete, visceral, and visible. This is a case study about a documentary that changed a cultural conversation and the role we played in helping it travel further. - [Case Study: Building the Field through Three Acts of Justice](https://funkybrownchick.com/case-study-building-the-field-through-three-acts-of-justice/) - Four years ago, in 2022, the connections were already there. We saw them coming. We knew the harm would be swift, and we wanted to build a framework to communicate the full scope of that harm in an accessible and freely available form that would be grounded in both lived experience and institutional credibility. So, we spent two years researching, documenting, and building it. - [Case Study: When Clinicians Act on Equity, Patients Live](https://funkybrownchick.com/case-study-when-clinicians-act-on-equity-patients-live/) - Just because a doctor knows about health disparities doesn't mean they'll be able to counter them. Actions save lives. That's why we worked with a cohort of medical practitioners to close the gap between what they understand and what they do, especially when it comes to improving maternal health outcomes, where a failure to act can cost lives. - [Case Study: Rejecting Population Control Narratives in the Climate Space](https://funkybrownchick.com/case-study-reframing-population-and-climate-through-a-justice-lens/) - A climate organization with a harmful legacy wanted to shift toward reproductive justice. Through co-created messaging that centered bodily autonomy, we helped them reach more than 900,000 people — drawing engagement from Ipas, the Poor People's Campaign, NPR, and reproductive health advocates across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. You've gotta read the full story. - [Case Study: Gaining Political Power and Mental Health Access](https://funkybrownchick.com/gaining-political-power-and-mental-health-access/) - They started with 755 monthly Twitter impressions. Two months later, this organization led by formerly incarcerated people was reaching 87,600+ people across platforms.

Read the full case study. - [Case Study: Boosting Black Women's Organizing Power](https://funkybrownchick.com/case-study-boosting-black-womens-organizing-power/) - Democratic norms are backsliding. When it comes to civic engagement, a foundation wanted to know which grantees were winning and why. We worked with nearly two dozen grantee-partners on data infrastructure, training, and impact documentation, with 350,000+ voters engaged, nearly 30,000 reproductive justice advocates mobilized, and 25,000+ census pledges secured. Here's how it came together. - [Case Study: Amplifying Women's Earning Potential](https://funkybrownchick.com/case-study-amplifying-womens-earning-potential/) - Leadership matters. Too often, women (especially women of color) are shut out due to discrimination and systemic barriers. A women's leadership organization was doing the hard work of helping professionals of color break those barriers to income and advancement. Their digital presence wasn't telling that story. So we rebuilt their messaging from service descriptions to impact narrative, then built a newsletter strategy now hitting 60–77% open rates, two to four times the international standard. Read the case study. - [Case Study: Investigative Journalism as a Human Rights Tool](https://funkybrownchick.com/case-study-investigative-journalism-as-a-human-rights-tool/) - A Pulitzer Prize-winning newsroom had the reporting. But journalists aren't necessarily fundraisers. We built their retargeting system from scratch, introduced their work to 114,560 new potential supporters (a 51% year-over-year increase), and delivered a 4X return on their first digital ad buy. Donor numbers grew by more than 20%.

See how we did it. - [Case Study: From Digital Novice to Self-Sufficient Fundraiser](https://funkybrownchick.com/case-study-from-digital-novice-to-self-sufficient-fundraiser/) - Fundraising challenges? Comedians to the rescue. 🤡 Laughter is a universal language. Using pop culture strategies, we cut a reproductive justice organization's cost per donation to 60% below sector average, brought in new major donors, and generated $2.40 for every dollar invested. Our data analysis also revealed that men accounted for nearly a third of donors. It was a demographic they'd never thought to pursue. - [8 Reasons Why Foundations Should Support Black-led Civic Engagement](https://funkybrownchick.com/8-reasons-why-foundations-should-support-bipoc-led-civic-engagement/) - Studies show that white-led organizations had budgets that were 24% larger than those Black-led organizations—the main driver being racially biased funding disparities of over 70%.
