In how we run our households and our family finances.

In the work entrusted to us, whatever our role.

From Responsibility to Action
What a stewardship practice might look like.

Look inside your retirement account.
Learn which companies it owns and whether they reflect what you value.
Read a month of spending.
Read it as a statement of what you value, then change one choice.
At work
Steward one budget as your own.
Manage it as if every dollar were yours to answer for.
Ask what it will build.
Make it the first question before your team approves any spending.
In community
Spend closer to home.
Move part of your monthly spending to local businesses.
Bring the question to your board.
Ask what its reserves are building, and whether that serves the mission.
Examples only. Each Fellow chooses a practice that fits their own life.
