About Slow Money
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:
Soil fertility, carrying capacity, sense of place, care of the commons, cultural, ecological and economic health and diversity, nonviolence -- these are the fundamentals of nurture capital, a new financial sector supporting the emergence of a restorative economy. And these are the fundamentals of the Slow Money Principles.
Slow Money is launching a national campaign to obtain one million signatories to the Slow Money Principles. For those who wish to do more than be a signatory, membership in the Slow Money Alliance provides a more active form of participation. Slow Money has attracted 165 Founding Members including many recognized leaders in organic food, sustainable agriculture, philanthropy and social investing.
A very special thanks to Investors’ Circle, a sister network that incubated Slow Money over several years. There would be no Slow Money without the financial and strategic support of Investors' Circle. To all our friends at IC, lovers of patient capital, explorers of the purpose of capital, energetic explorers of Slow Money, and all others who have come together over the years to prove just what "To IRR is human, to ERR divine" actually means, we look forward to the shared opportunities that lie ahead.
