Summary

Writing for funders, Julian Norris asks how $50 million might help a more ecological worldview take hold, and answers from history: from Buddhism to the Quakers, small groups of “5-50 people” reshaped whole cultures. Patrons should back the slow practice and learning that carry change across generations, because “Cultural transformation is a generational process, not a communications strategy.”

His generational, practice-first view matches ours, and speaks to how this work gets funded. We’d put less weight on small founding groups: dispositions form through everyone’s everyday life.
