About VeganLinked
What is VeganLinked?
A free, geographically-based directory and community for vegans and the vegan-curious — professionals, organizations, places, shop & learn, events, stories, and social features, all in one place. Join to share your story, add listings and events (for yourself or for others), and connect with vegans near you.
Use it socially, to promote your work, or as a tool to build your local vegan community.
What problem does it solve?
When you post a vegan service, product, or event in a Facebook group, Meetup, Reddit, or Instagram, it’s hot for a minute and then buried in the feed — invisible to the people who go looking later. Even pinned spreadsheets and one-off local sites aren’t uniform, comprehensive, or truly public.
VeganLinked fixes that: one organized, location-based, publicly searchable home for the whole vegan world, city by city. Build your community here, then point your groups to your city or state page — and it stays findable for good.
“This is an idea whose time has come. We want to create a vegan economy where the dollars we spend go to another plant-based person who’s going to use it to turn this world into a more compassionate place.”
— Jane Velez-MitchellIs VeganLinked only vegan?
We keep the directory as strictly vegan as possible. Some events or places may be a mix of vegan and vegetarian, which we understand. If you spot a listing or user that shouldn’t be here, there’s a report button next to every listing — or contact us.
Listings & events
Who can add a listing — and can I add one for someone else?
Anyone. You don’t have to be a business — advocates, parents, plumbers, hairdressers, chefs, coaches, and designers all belong in the Professionals section.
And you can add listings for others, too: vegan businesses, organizations, places, and events that should be here. Because you show as the author, each listing you add promotes you. Just ask first and build a little rapport — the owner can “claim” the listing anytime. More on the Add Listings page →
What listing packages are there?
Every section has Free, Basic, and Featured options:
- Free — may expire; you’ll get email reminders to renew, or it may be deleted.
- Basic — auto-renews every 3–6 months so your listing never lapses, and helps keep the site (and the cameras) running.
- Featured — renews monthly; shows first on the homepage, search, and list pages, with a banner and room for more images, categories, and description.
Events have Free and Featured options too.
How do I add a listing?
1. Join or log in — you’ll land on your profile, where you can add a photo, banner, and your vegan story.
2. Hit the Add Listings & Events button (in the nav, the sidebar, or the footer).
3. Pick a listing type.
4. Add your details and submit — or check out, for a paid listing.
Stuck or have an idea? Reach out anytime.
Can I link listings and events together?
Yes. Once you have two or more — any mix of professional, organization, place, shop & learn, or event — you can cross-link them. Your listing then displays its events, and your events display their listings. The option appears when you create or edit them.
It’s how an organization ties its people, places, and events into one clear, cross-promoting picture. See how communities use it →
Any tips for a great listing?
- Add at least one image. Listings with images rank ahead of those without, and your first image becomes your logo across the site.
- No category fits? Pick “Other,” then type your category in the Tag field — we may add it.
- Listing for someone else? Leave “Business Owner/Associate?” unchecked so they can claim it later.
Someone made a listing for me — how do I claim it?
Go to that listing and click Claim Listing (beside or below it). Can’t claim one that should be yours? Contact us and we’ll sort it out.
Support & vision
How is listing revenue used?
Everything goes into keeping VeganLinked alive and growing — hosting, security, and the constant work of producing free video coverage of vegan events and people on YouTube.com/VeganLinked, which promotes the whole site and everyone on it.
It’s expensive — travel, gear, editing — and as of 2026 it’s still just me, Jeff. Your support means a lot. Support VeganLinked →
What’s the bigger vision?
The dream is for revenue to reach beyond the site itself: funding creators to cover vegan businesses and events for free, sponsoring advocates, coaches, sanctuaries, and creators around the world so they can work more — even full-time — for the movement, and one day building a retreat for burnt-out advocates and the veg-curious.
Veganism may be the fastest-growing lifestyle movement in history. This is about accelerating it — together.
Is there an affiliate program?
It’s built, but on hold until there’s more interest. The idea: a paying listing can send a recurring share of its payment to a VeganLinked Affiliate — a sanctuary, an advocate, a coach, or whoever added the listing — rather than the usual one-time commission.
