Purpose. Innovation. Value

Reconsider is partnering with Washtenaw County Office of Community & Economic Development (OCED) for a community capital research project.  Participate in our Local Investment Sentiment survey and help us move forward with capital innovation in our local community!

There has been plenty of change in the finance world but hardly any of it has utilized innovative thinking as a means to empower individuals. 

Reconsider scrutinizes the traditional aspects of investing and money management to uncover better solutions for Americans looking to achieve a more secure economic freedom. 

We are excited and energized on a daily basis at the opportunities and possibilities of our mission.  We recognize and have chosen to participate in a movement of unbridled passion and true conviction to create a greater good for everyone in our community.  We are confident our enthusiasm will be both infectious and a positive catalyst for change. 

We invite you to explore our site, attend our workshops, read our articles, and join the conversation of how we might create a more resilient and sustainable future for us and the generations to come.

WHY

Where is your money?

If you could reconsider one thing, what would that one thing be? Community? Investing? Education? Agriculture?

The ability to "reconsider" something is a powerful notion. It allows you to reflect and react. It allows you to extract the positive while minimizing the negative. Most important, it allows you to reshape something to enhance it and make it better.

Reconsider was founded on this very same philosophy.

Growing out of the very significant events that rocked the financial services industry and consumers alike over the last five years, Reconsider launched in December 2011 in Ypsilanti, Michigan. Quite simply, Reconsider has set out to reshape and innovate the way we work with, create, and utilize our wealth. Reconsider scrutinizes the traditional aspects of investing and money management to uncover better solutions for Americans looking to achieve a more secure economic freedom.

Reconsider has set in motion three specific initiatives to carry out its vision:

     
  • A 501c3 education nonprofit that will deliver community workshops, technical and governance guidance, and financial literacy initiatives.  (Update: The Michigan Financial Literacy Collaborative was incorporated in April 2013 and is currently seeking tax exemption status with the IRS as a 501c3 nonprofit.)
    •  
  • A for-profit business that delivers products and services to individuals and entrepreneurs who want a fresh look at how they engage with the new economy.
    •  
  • A Michigan Mutual Fund - currently in research and development, this concept would connect Michigan investment dollars with Michigan businesses who care about profits, people, and the place they do business in (our backyard).

Reconsider aims to be the voice of the tens or even hundreds of thousands of people who to date have not had one. Those people who have the fortitude to go against the grain to create and support an independent, resilient and sustainable local economy. We at Reconsider are aware that change does not happen overnight and it doesn’t flow from the top down. Our grassroots approach starts local but will grow over time as our message resonates with more people. Join Reconsider as we shape a new financial frontier where more consumers will have a greater say and enhanced control of their money.

So what are you going to reconsider?
