June 22nd – Support Social Entrepreneurs here in Denver

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

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

A Mad March Against Poverty – March Madness Brackets for a Cause

Friday, March 5th, 2010

Join the fun of NCAA Men’s Basketball “March Madness…” and join the story of The 1010 Project at the same time! The entry period ends March 18th, click on the button below to get started.

$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.
