Meeting at the NoVo Foundation
Last week, the Capital Institute team was invited to present some of the findings from our work at the NoVo Foundation. We enjoyed immensely the opportunity to reconnect with old friends and build some new relationships, and appreciate all the efforts of both the NoVo Foundation and RSF Social Finance that made the event possible.

BALLE’s “Prosperty Starts Here,” to be held in Grand Rapids from May 15 to 19, is the organization’s annual gathering of local economy entrepreneurs and visionaries. On Earth Day Slow Money NYC will showcase five pioneering food entreprenuers from the lower Hudson Valley of New York in Pocantico Hills, NY. Capital Institute Founder and President John Fullerton will be a speaker at the Degrowth and BALLE conferences.
