Vegans Explore Communities
Every city. Every neighborhood. One place to find your people, grow your community, and build something real for the plant-based world.
Three ways in
Whether you want to join a community, build one, or bring an existing mission-driven organization into the ecosystem.

Every community is free to join, no exceptions. Guides are unlocked with Points, which you earn by being active or buy anytime.
02
$111
Per month
Bring your existing community onto our platform, or build a new one. We provide the tools, the audience pipeline, and a network that compounds with every community that joins.

Running a mission-aligned nonprofit or organization? Apply for a grant. Every application is reviewed by our team before a payment link is issued.
The platform
Your $111/month includes two core modules. Add more as your community scales. New modules hit the marketplace on a regular basis.
New modules added regularly
Create, promote, and sell tickets to events directly through your community. No third-party tools. Attendees stay inside the VE ecosystem.
Generate social media content ideas and connect with producers inside the VE network who can bring them to life. Your community stays active, consistently.
Sell products, merchandise, and digital goods directly to your community members. Built-in storefront, no separate platform needed.
Grant program
If your organization exists to serve animals, communities, or the plant-based world, we want to support you. Every application is reviewed by our team - we look at alignment, not just paperwork.
Submit your application
Tell us about your organization. If you have a 501(c)3 certificate, upload it. Every application starts here regardless of status.
Share your story
Optionally, share a link to a short video explaining your mission and why VE should sponsor your community. This helps our team understand your work.
Our team reviews
We look at mission alignment, community fit, and long-term partnership potential. Holding a 501(c)3 does not guarantee approval - we review every applicant the same way.
Payment link issued (if approved)
Approved organizations receive a payment link for either a discounted rate or, where granted, donated service. We reach out directly with next steps.
Who can apply
We believe the most impactful communities in the vegan world shouldn't be priced out of the tools they need to grow. The grant program exists to change that.
