Why We're Running This Test
As a pre-scale nonprofit, we're using paid advertising on Meta (Facebook and Instagram) as a research tool, not a growth channel. Our goal is simple: learn which framing of our core offer resonates most with underserved communities seeking financial wellness.
This structured concept test will help us refine our messaging before we scale our services.
