Our Story
Megan & Rachel met in 2017 and were instantly inspired by each other’s passion and dedication to fundraising and nonprofit work. After kicking the idea of Wanderwear around for a few months, they got together during the COVID-19 Quarantine in 2020 to turn their dreams of starting a nonprofit together into a reality.
After noticing for years how the development world specifically caters to the older, wealthier, more elite class in New York City, Megan and Rachel set out to create a new kind of philanthropy - one where everyday women could make a difference through their everyday purchases.
"I was sick of attending events with people my grandparent's age - I wanted a space where anyone, especially my age, could get involved with philanthropy and actually feel like they were making a difference - no more stuffy galas with four figure ticket prices" - Megan, Co-Founder and CEO
"I believe philanthropy doesn't have to be expensive. Founding Wanderwear created a space where you don't need to empty your bank account to afford to make a difference. Our goal is to give everyone the chance to experience the adrenaline rush of impacting someone's life, while wearing super cute underwear!" - Rachel, Co - Founder and COO
