Virtual 10K Run for the Planet

Founded in 2005, Whole Planet Foundation is a Whole Foods Market foundation that alleviates poverty worldwide where the company sources products. The nonprofit’s mission is to empower the very poor living in developing-world communities with microcredit and the chance to create or expand a home-based business and lift themselves and their families out of poverty. As of June 2017, Whole Planet Foundation is funding microlending programs through microfinance partners in the U.S. and across 68 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, supporting 12.4 million opportunities for a better life. To date, the nonprofit has authorized $74 million and disbursed $65 million through microlending partners worldwide.

Whole Planet Foundation

Run with us this summer to help empower entrepreneurs living in poverty all over the globe!
Consider this: the average first microloan in Haiti can be as low as $25 and the average first microloan in Rwanda can be as low as $35. Your run registration fee can help an entrepreneur lift herself and her family out of poverty by starting her own small business.
