Slow Money: Investment strategies appropriate to the realities of the 21st century - Slow Money:

 Slow Money has been called a movement, but is also a small NGO started in 2009, headquartered in Boulder, Colo., with an alliance of chapters throughout the world.

Slow Money took root when founder Woody Tasch, a poet and former venture capitalist, wrote the book Inquiries Into the Nature of Slow Money: Investing as if Food, Farms, and Fertility Mattered. As Woody traveled the country to promote his book, he encountered a groundswell of people who resonated with his ideas. One by one, audience members stepped forward, inspired to create within their local communities the change of which he spoke. Many became innovators and local leaders within the Slow Money family, both in the United States and around the globe, guided by Woody’s finance experience and thought leadership.
