Making Money Make Change (MMMC) is Resource Generation's annual 100-person gathering for young people with wealth (ages 18-35) who believe in social change. MMMC is a confidential space to explore issues related to wealth, privilege, philanthropy, and participation in grassroots movements for justice and equality. Participants and programming at MMMC bring multiple lenses to this work, including a focus on the dynamics of cross-class relationships and a developing curriculum around the intersections of racial and economic justice.
Through workshops, plenaries, community-building caucus and open spaces, and intimate pod groups* throughout the weekend retreat, participants will support, challenge, and inspire each other to align their resources with their values and work for personal and societal transformation. While participants are young people with wealth and partners of young people with wealth, social movement leaders and nonprofit practitioners from other class backgrounds are invited to speak, facilitate sessions, and are encouraged to attend the entire retreat. This retreat can be profound, emotional, inspiring and sometimes challenging work as we build community and work for social change.
*for more information on pods, see the "about" page!

"At MMMC I found what I was looking for and more - motivation to have hard conversations about wealth, income disparities, and class, a better understanding of the financial system and my place in it, and a group of people committed to unpacking difficult, complicated systems to move toward a more just world. I was moved and challenged by others' stories about the role of financial and class privilege in their lives and inspired by the variety of models presented for making change. I came out of the conference driven to shift the way I invest and give, and to start talking to family members about wealth and justice in new ways." -MMMC 2008 Participant |
