Slow Money is a movement that supports businesses like ours that seek sustainable business models that regenerate the local community, not just a bunch of shareholders at the top.
Slow Money has announced their “Best Slow Money Business” competition and will be helping share the word nationally about movements like ours AND will be awarding cash prizes to the businesses who receive the most votes of support for their concept. With our current expansion, and $25000 matching grant, each vote is a great opportunity to support the already amazing campaign to create a stronger local food system for Central Florida, and raise funds to be matched dollar-for dollar!

We’ve all heard too much about the structural problems of our economy, and too little about a new vision, a fundamentally new vision of economic, social and environmental health. It all begins with the soil . . . 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.
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.
Don’t forget to cast your vote for us in their Best Slow Money Business competition, ask your friends to join our campaign, and help us get a chance to receive a contribution to our Matching Grant campaign!
