Put Your Money Where Your Values Are

The past few months have helped me crystallize what’s really important. The health and safety of my loved ones and community first and foremost, but also high on the list is protecting the vibrancy and diversity of our city.

Directory wants you to Spend Like It Matters

Intentionalist is a digital search engine and guide aimed at helping people support small businesses and connect with the diverse people behind them. Simply put, it's an intentional list - but Intentionalist is also a type of person. The phrase can be used to describe a person who intentionally thinks about where and how they spend their money.

I started Intentionalist because I believe that the money we spend every day is an opportunity to invest in the kind of world we want - to connect with people from diverse backgrounds, to support economic inclusion, and to build communities where we know and support each other.
