Program areas at Wander Project

Charity bibs - Wander Project works with event companies to secure free or reduced entries to their events. We then provide our participants with the option to raise funds (a set amount that varies based on the event) in lieu of paying for the event. In 2023, we partnered with 5 event companies: vacation races, aravipa - cocodona, transrockies run, orca running, and navajo yes. The supply of our charity bibs relies entirely on these companies (and expanding). In 2024, we are planning to expand our event offerings. We give participants the choice to select a charity of their choosing to raise funds for. In 2023, we were able to donate over 235,000 to nonprofits because of our charity bib athletes. Nonprofit partnerships - Wander Project partners with various nonprofits across the country to promote their work. Nonprofit partners collaborate with Wander Project to promote the charity bib program in order to harness the power of supporters to raise funds for their organization.
