How is a shoe drive fundraiser sustainable?

Shoe drive fundraisers go beyond simply raising money for your organization. In addition, they support vital sustainability efforts that protect the planet. The truth is, shoes can take decades—or even up to 1,000 years—to decompose. Consequently, this long breakdown process negatively impacts the environment and contributes to superstorms, flooding, and rising heat levels.

However, when you raise funds by collecting gently worn, used, and new shoes, you actively help combat global climate change. In other words, your efforts create an opportunity for your organization and community to make a powerful and lasting social impact.

How does this support microenterprise?

Micro-enterprises are small businesses, usually run by families. In many developing countries, systemic poverty forces adults to create their own economic opportunities. These businesses may be as simple as a stall, shack, or small shop.

By hosting a shoe drive fundraiser, you help supply inventory for these micro-enterprises. In turn, they sell the shoes in their communities, boosting local commerce and supporting long-term economic sustainability.

WE ARE A GLOBAL
SOCIAL ENTERPRISE

Your shoe drive fundraisers directly support over 4,000 families of micro-enterprise partners—most notably, the majority are women-owned businesses. In fact, the micro-enterprise industry is one of the most effective ways to help lift families out of poverty in struggling economies.

Surprisingly, many people don’t realize that 70% of the global population—more than 5 billion people—reuses shoes and clothing. Through your efforts, the shoes you collect become a philanthropic bridge. Rather than offering a simple hand-out, they provide a meaningful hand-up to entrepreneurs and families around the world.
