The Slow Money movement is built around local groups, which catalyze local food investing in a variety of ways—peer-to-peer lending, public meetings, pitch fests, and on-farm events. Local Slow Money groups are organized as informal networks and/or investment clubs. There are currently 27 groups nationwide, and have invested $66 million in 697 food enterprises. (Based on 2Forks Club and can be changed!) Four Corner's Slow Money's goal is to build a robust local food economy by giving community farmers and local food entrepreneurs a leg up in the Four Corners region. We foresee: Making 0% interest loans to community farmers and local food entrepreneurs. Loan funds circulate. So when a loan is paid back, it goes back into our fund for future loans! Loans are selected based on loanee's potential to make the greatest positive impact on our local food economy and a set of ethics established by loan selection committee All loans are voted upon by members annually, and anyone that makes a donation to the club ($250 minimum / year, $150 for farmer/ teacher) becomes a member and can vote on loans
