Fund-raising

Wander Project's mission is to engage with athletes and endurance racing events to support local communities through inspiring fundraising and service. Truly we want to empower athletes to do more and run for a purpose.Wander project works with endurance racing companies to secure a set number of charity bibs for their events. We then engage with athletes and offer them the opportunity to raise funds, to support the community in and around where the races are held, in place of paying a registration fee. The athletes that raise these funds are given the opportunity to help decide how the funds will be disbursed. Through this year's survey, athletes decided that funds raised through the charity bib program will support community programs that focused on: preservation and conservation of public lands, education around local ecology and stewardship, and promoting health and wellbeing within these local communities. We also have had the opportunity to offer virtual community fundraisers. For these, virtual events, athletes and fundraisers work to raise funds to support organizations such as their local food banks, animal rescues, services for vulnerable populations that have been affected by COVID-19 and we even had a few groups raising funds to support their favorite restaurants.Recently, Wander Project also launched a new program to help ensure that anyone who wants to experience the joy and excitement of being part of an in-person event can have the chance. This new program is called our Sponsor an Athlete Fund, and we hope to work with our already engaged athletes to raise the funds necessary to support athletes that qualify. These funds will help eliminate barriers associated with race entry fees, travel expenses, and/or any other limiting factor that we can identify on a case-by-case basis.
