Making Money Make Change (MMMC) is a national, multiracial 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. Through workshops, discussions, and community-building activities participants support, challenge, and inspire each other to align their resources with their values and work for personal and societal transformation. While the majority of participants are young people with wealth, session facilitators and speakers from other class backgrounds are invited to participate in the retreat. MMMC is co-sponsored by four national social change organizations: Tides Foundation, Funding Exchange, Third Wave Foundation, and Resource Generation.

"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 |
