What is the money raised used for?
NOMV is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. Everything we accomplish relies on the generosity of our donors. The funds raised are allocated by the NOMV Volunteer Board of Directors based on programmatic needs. Because the Race Around the World is such a large part of our annual income, we use the funds raised to support several programs including support grants to individuals in crisis, educational programming, peer support programs, and special projects like CLEAR Blueprint and special projects.
Are there winners?
Technically everyone who participates is a winner because all participants develop their wellbeing while simultaneously raising awareness and funds for a common cause with thousands of other people across the globe! But, yes, there are also actual winners. Throughout the race, there is a visible leaderboard that lets us know which individuals and teams are raising the most money and which are racking up the most miles for our mission. In 2025, the individual who takes the most virtual steps and the individual who raises the most for NOMV will be featured with their pet and their vet on NOMV social media.
