Fundraising for a Cause with a Shoe Drive
A Shoe drive is an easy way to start your own fundraiser without having to ask for money, or sell anything! It’s as simple as collecting shoes from your friends, family, and community and raising money for what you collect. You can raise thousands of dollars from only hundreds of shoes. With a shoe drive you can:
- Raise Funds for your Cause
- Help Reduce Landfill Waste
- Recycle Wearable Shoes to those in Need
- Create Impact Around the World
A Fundraiser with Impact – What happens to the Shoes?
You may be asking yourself how your shoe drive creates impact around the world. The Fundraising Company has partnered with female micro-entrepreneurs in developing countries for thirty years. All the shoes you collect head to South America and Africa to these partners to resell the shoes. By reselling the shoes, these women are able to:
- Gain Financial Independence
- Support Their Families
- Shoe their Community in Need
- Participate in the Global Economy
By collecting shoes with the Fundraising Company you are not only raising funds for your cause, but also helping others around the world. A shoe drive is a sustainable way to give back. So encourage those you know to donate their shoes to your fundraiser instead of throwing them away!
The women we partner with in developing countries have amazing stories! Some start their micro-enterprises with nothing, and have since doubled or tripled their income. Many of the women we work with are widows, trying to take care of their families on their own. The more shoes we are able to send them for resale, the more money they are able to earn. Their businesses they start allow them to be self-sustaining.
