Our Clients
Proud to Partner With
Wonder partners with social-change leaders ready to disrupt the status quo. Our clients are equally mesmerized by what drives their audience’s behavior and eager to explore where the research takes them.

Breakthrough Change
Heartwired to diversify health investment
Everyone needs health care. And everyone should have access to the care they need, regardless of their income, the color of their skin, or the language they speak. Enter the California Health Care Foundation’s Innovation Fund.
Building trust, answering questions and inspiring hope in COVID-19 vaccines
A Heartwired messaging guide for people working to advance equitable COVID-19 vaccine uptake.
Heartwired to Love the Ocean
In 2016, with support from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, Wonder: Strategies for Good and Goodwin Simon Strategic Research embarked on a broad, three-year audience research project. We saw the opportunity to build a stronger conservation movement that reflects the values, identities, lived experiences, and needs of all people.
Amnesty International
Amnesty International has contributed to historic human rights victories, including the release of Nelson Mandela and the end of apartheid in South Africa. Despite their history, the organization was struggling to challenge today’s rising wave of dictators, despots and demonizers.
The Kresge Foundation
Millions of students eligible for financial aid do not fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) – leaving billions of dollars on the table and their potential unfulfilled. The Kresge Foundation asked, could stories help encourage more students to fill out the FAFSA?
Compassion & Choices
For 20 years, advocates worked unsuccessfully to provide a legal option for terminally ill people in California with six months or less to live to request life-ending medication. How could they succeed in a state as racially and ethnically diverse as California?
