In 2007/2008, Whole Planet Foundation will launch a fundraising strategy to catalyze new corporate resources towards the mission of microfinance and to empower entrepreneurs in the developing world. Whole Foods Market is inviting four companies and foundations to join us in a strategic alliance to Empower Entrepreneurs, with a goal of changing the economic future of over 2 million people.
We are seeking partners who share our values; a commitment to a global community of stakeholders; mutual dedication to ensuring employee happiness; commitment to the environment and demonstrating entrepreneurship and pro-business attitudes.
With a small core of strong, strategic alliances we can collectively increase our impact in the microfinance arena.
Supplier Alliance for Microcredit is a global alliance of companies who are currently vendors to Whole Foods Market and share a desire to change the world, one entrepreneur at a time. They are committed to supporting the mission of the Foundation. Whole Planet Foundation and our supplier partners are striving to increase education and awareness of global poverty through in-store promotions and other campaigns. We also hope to align programmatic goals of supplier partners and Whole Planet Foundation for significant impact around the world.
We are seeking collaborators (from Whole Foods Market's vendor community) who share our values and who would like to maximize programmatic impact on the ground to become partners in an alliance among vendor partners
