DONATE TODAY"These were truly remarkable proceedings. Life-changing, really. This event was so compelling, so inspiring, so empowering, and yet so down-to-earth that it was impossible to walk away from Louisville unchanged. l came home all the more convinced that 'bringing money back down to earth’ is not just a catchy phrase, but a very real, practical and brilliant way to change the world—starting close to home. A generation from now, I think we are going to look back on these first Slow Money events as seminal.”
