Talking About the Soul of Money

How does our relationship with money relate to, inform, serve, or compromise our mission? Can we ever have “enough” money? Is talking about money something that can help us to raise more?

Examining our attitudes toward money: earning it, spending it, and giving it away — can offer surprising insight into our lives and our values. Using concepts from the best selling book “The Soul of Money” written by Lynne Twist, this interactive session is intended to inspire a paradigm shift for your money conversations both personally and for your nonprofit organization.

Topics discussed will include:

• The reason for money
• Can we have enough money?
• How to talk about money with ease.
• How to create mission-focused fundraising that raises MORE money.
