The Nonprofit Wellness Challenge is a comprehensive 10-week event that enables employer groups to bring their charitable giving and employee wellness objectives together in a single solution.
The Challenge is a bonified employee wellness solution that engages, educates, and inspires employees to be as fit as they can be through a series of challenges, group events, health education, and personal achievements.
So rather than funding two separate initiatives, the Challenge enables groups to combine both in a solution that’s tailored to their needs, reduces costs, engages employees, and drives a ton of donations to their nonprofit of choice.
In the Challenge participants earn wellness points by completing activities that address their physical, mental, and financial well-being, from tracking steps to learning about meditation to balancing a budget!
The fundraising happens when participants get friends and family to sponsor them based on the number of points they earn. This enables individuals to raise hundreds and their employer thousands for their nonprofit, all while striving to be as fit as they can be, physically, mentally, and financially!

The Wellness Challenge
The goal of the Challenge is to have multiple corporate doror come together in a friendly competition to support a common nonprofit. They'll compete for the "Healthiest Company Cup" with their employees earning wellness points for completing various healthy activities over the 10-week event. (Full list here)
There are Grand and Runners Up prizes in Individual and Team competitions, group events, comprehensive nutrition program, weekly raffles, health educations videos and quizzes, and more.
The Fundraising
When employees opt into the Challenge they understand that in addition to a wellness challenge, it's also a fundraising event, and they are encouraged to get as many friends and family to sponsor them as possible.
The Challenge provides participants with all the tools they'll need to reach out, recruit, enroll, and tracks the fullfillment of sponsor pledges. Sponsors pledge 1, 2, or 5 cents per wellness point earned. There are over 7,800 possible wellness points. If one participant recruits 4 sponsors, who each pledge just 1 cent, and they earn 5,000 points (easy to do!), that single participant can generate $200 in donation.
At the conclusion of the Challenge all sponsors are sent an email that states the number of points their person earned, the amount they pledged per point, the total amount of their pledge, and a link to the nonprofit's donation page.
