Today I am excited to introduce you to Anne Guerrant, founder of the Guerrant Foundation. Anne was once ranked #11 in the world for women’s tennis and she now runs an amazing organization. The Guerrant Foundation gives microloans to the world’s poor.

On November 5th, we are having a Battle of the Sexes Tennis Tournament to raise money for the Guerrant Foundation. This is a free event that runs from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and all donations will go to the Guerrant Foundation.

We will also hold a raffle to win a number of exciting prizes, including a round of golf, overnight stays, dinners at great restaurants, and a free class at the I Fly Trapeze School at the Phoenician.  A $250 donation will get you three chances in the raffle and $100 gets you one chance. You do not have to be present at the event to win.

The Guerrant Foundation gives microloans to various organizations that help the poor in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. These loans help people start their own businesses and usually run from about $50 to $400. The small businesses provide goods and services, such as food, clothing, or household items, to people in their community.



The Guerrant Foundation makes a huge difference in people’s lives..



These microloans make a huge difference in some of the poorest communities in the world. In fact, 90% of the donations go to women and mothers, which is one of my favorite things about this organization. Anne has done 13 site visits around the world and heard story after story about what a life-changing experience this has been for their families. The first thing many of these women do when they get a little extra money from their businesses is put their children in school.

Anne is incredibly efficient with her money. The Guerrant Foundation is entirely made up of volunteers. The offices are in her home so they incur very few expenses; any expenses they do incur are paid by Anne and her husband. All of the money you donate goes directly to the organizations that the Guerrant Foundation supports, and Anne personally visits the micro-lending sites to see how the new entrepreneurs are doing.

In fact, Anne and her husband match donations up to $100,000 each year, so really 200% of your money will go to an organization in need! Anne and her husband are truly dedicated to helping the world’s poorest people.  If you are interested in learning more about the Guerrant Foundation, check out their website.

Part of the reason why I love this organization is that I know how much of an impact they can make. My mother and I grew up together; I was given many grants and scholarships along the way. I am here today because people gave me an opportunity to move up. This is my opportunity to give back.

I hope you can come to our event on November 5th. If you can’t, please consider making a donation on our YouCaring page. The donation to YouCaring is merely a suggestion. You have the option to reduce or eliminate their fee, or you can send a check to the Guerrant Foundation at 569 North Acacia Drive, Gilbert, AZ 85233.

If you have any questions in the meantime, just give me a call or send me an email. I would be happy to help you!
