: The Slow Money Institute was founded by Woody Tasch.
: Our mission is to catalyze the flow of capital to local food systems, connecting investors to the places where they live and promoting sense of place, diversity, nonviolence and health.
: The Slow Money Institute does not directly make loans. Instead, we catalyze the formation of self-organizing local groups, which use a diversity of approaches to invest in local food systems. These groups may provide loans, but they operate independently, using their discretion to determine where investments are made. We encourage farmers and local food entrepreneurs to connect with these local groups for potential funding opportunities. For more information, please visit our Local Groups page.
