Who we are, and what we’re about.
A family
Some friends
A vision
For us, this has always been equally about helping others raise money and encouraging health and exercise.
From the founder –
I have been producing endurance competition events of all types for pretty much my entire adulthood.
Coinciding with that, I spent a decade working and living at a non-profit ministry with a big focus on outdoor adventure.
With both I’ve seen the amazing things that happen in peoples’ lives when they are outdoors in Creation, moving their bodies and achieving goals.
With the non-profit work, I saw the constant need for funds. With the events I’ve honed in the art of event production.
Over the past decades, I had frequent asks to help people with their fundraisers. I constantly found myself encouraging people to NOT do ‘5K fundraisers’ because it is a tremendous amount of effort, and they aren’t likely to make much for the boatload of work required.
One day, I learned about Lap-A-Thons and Peer-to-Peer fundraising. I quickly found out, first-hand, how well they work, and how consistently they work. It was a “lightning bolt” moment when I realized I could combine my strengths, experience, and knowledge with this idea. I was able to create a process I could manage between my other major event efforts that allowed me to do all the legwork for entities needing to raise funds.
I learned that our process works so consistently, I could absorb the financial risk so the fundraising entity didn’t have to; and we could allow the entity to keep so much more of the money raised than most other fundraising companies. The fact that we can do that while encouraging people to get out and move is a true win-win situation!
We absolutely love this part of our lives and cannot wait to help more people! We do this as a family, and so far our Coordinators are comprised of family and friends, who we trust and know will personally care about our clients. Endless Loop Fundraising is an extension of our family, which means we really care about every detail and every person involved. ~Chris
