On June 22nd, our Executive Director Brian Rants and Chair of the Board Melissa Schaap will be joining the Greater Good Academy’s Showcase.

The 1010 Project wanted to be apart of this incredible event because we share Greater Good’s emphasis on the Triple Bottom Line: People, Planet, and Profit. Entrepreneurs who desire to not only be profitable, but also profit their communities are the key to breaking the cycle of poverty.

Join us to get plugged into breaking the cycle of poverty here in Denver!

June 22, 2010 – 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Mi Casa Resource Center, 360 Acoma Street

$10-15 is a common loan from the Community Based Organizations (CBO’s) we support like Mother’s Concern and Tumaini Pomoja. In February I met a woman who turned such a loan into a $75/mo business that allowed her to overcome the major obstacle of school fees for her 6 children, pay rent, and help break the cycle of poverty for her family.
