Meet Wayne Elsey, Funds2Orgs Founder

An entrepreneur redefining impact through action. 

Wayne Elsey’s relentless curiosity and resilience are infused in everything about Funds2Orgs. Years ago, he spotted an opportunity to help local organizations raise funds at a time when there was increased awareness of the environment by creating a successful shoe drive fundraising model. In short, he reimagined fundraising and in the process created a movement to empower people and reduce waste. Wayne’s work proves that bold ideas and action can—and do—create lasting impact.

Why Shoes?

Micro-enterprises are small businesses, generally owned and operated by families of 1-2 people. Because of systemic poverty in many developing countries around the world, working-age adults have to create their own economic opportunities. These micro-enterprises could be as small as a stall or shack or a brick-and-mortar shop. When you do a shoe drive fundraiser, you help provide the inventory for people worldwide. They sell the shoes you gather in their communities, which promotes commerce opportunities and leads to economic sustainability.
