Wander Project was created on the belief that your next run, walk, or hike, could support your favorite cause. Our charity bib program has supported hundreds of runners and granted over one million dollars since 2018.

But we know that not every adventure is tied to an official race or event, which led us to create the Wanderer Fund. We're launching this fund in 2026 to support the creative, the bold, and the impactful adventures, big and small, that YOU dream up.

What will the Wanderer Fund Support?

This past year, one of our Ambassadors ran for 24 hours around Eastern State Penitentiary to raise funds and awareness for mental health. Another walked across the United States to raise funds for three causes. Another dreamed of linking all 200-mile events in a season to support veterans, yet another dreams of a Pacific Crest Trail FKT for good.

These are just a few examples of adventures that are perfect for the Wanderer Fund.

We're ready to amplify projects that meet two key criteria: human-powered and aiming to do something good.

Whether you need shoes and a pack for the journey ahead, a camera to document the journey, fuel to keep you going, or other essentials to bring your project to life, we will support you from start to finish. We aim to be a resource not only for the adventure but also for the impact side, helping you share your story and amplify support for the cause you are looking to support.
