Aggregate literally wouldn’t exist without the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation; they put a great of confidence in the company when we were starting out and helped us to grow.

The work we did with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation could be a portfolio of case studies of its own, but we’re choosing talk about the work as a whole to speak to the breadth and depth of what we did in partnership with them.

Over the years, we supported program officers to expand their professional networks to diversify the people, institutions, and ideas in which they invest. We produced videos to better enable potential grant applicants to understand the types of ideas they want to support and to attract other funders to invest in ideas that the foundation wanted to scale. We wrote speeches. We maintained websites. We followed them to fancy conferences and helped them to look good. We produced a “pitch day” for grantees, as well as the foundation’s first-ever podcast. We helped them — in the early days — to determine how to use social media to further their mission and to guide their staff to use it effectively in their work. We helped them to launch a new effort to learn from successful ideas in other countries. We proposed ideas that were outside of their comfort zone — and sometimes they let us try them.

Below are some of the videos we produced for the foundation.
