Whole Planet Foundation

Whole Foods Market San Mateo and it's Team Member's are committed to raising $1,500.00 online during the fundraising campaign - that's nearly 10 microcredit loans that we can create! We believe in empowering others, cultivating change, and creating independence with our Whole Planet Foundation microloan program. Help your favorite store in San Mateo give opportunity around the globe by donating to the Whole Planet Foundation! Every penny of every donation goes directly to an individual striving to lift themselves out of poverty by creating a small business in their local community. Microcredit has proven to be one of the most effective poverty alleviation tools in the world. The idea is simple--provide capital for people to start and grow small businesses in parts of the world where money is very scarce. Average loan sizes are $162, which can buy sewing machines, goats, or start a recycling business. Team Members at Whole Foods Market San Mateo are accepting donations at the registers by optionally rounding up your total to the next dollar. We're also promoting Whole Trade Guaranteed products, which in part, help fund the Whole Planet Foundation. In addition, we are accepting donations of any amount over the internet.
