Slow Money
Thanks to alert friend & customer Nanette, we’ve just been turned onto a brilliant concept called Slow Money.
Think about it: A million Americans contributing to a grassroots, non-profit seed fund supporting small food enterprises and building the nurture capital industry. . . Is it typical philanthropy? No. Is it investing as we’ve come to know it? No. Is it achievable? Yes.
Slow Money is a new nonprofit organizing an international movement to bring money back down to earth. Founded by Woody Tasch, a pioneer in merging investing and philanthropy, Slow Money’s mission is to build local and national networks, and develop new financial products and services, dedicated to:
- investing in small food enterprises and local food systems;
- connecting investors to their local economies; and,
- building the nurture capital industry.
Update: Interview with Woody on NPR
