Directors and founders
Christopher and Anne Ellinger are nationally-recognized writers, wealth counselors, workshop presenters,
and organizers on issues of wealth and philanthropy. Through their writing, individual counseling,
and workshops, they have guided several thousand people through the personal challenges of wealth
and philanthropy.
In 1991, they founded More than Money, a nonprofit peer education network with over 1000 participants nationwide. Through publications, gatherings, and web resources, More Than Money helps people with significant financial resources explore the impact of money in their lives and act on their highest values. In 2004 they launched the Zing Foundation to both continue their philanthropic promotion and to build on their life-long interest in the effective use of participatory arts for social change.
Anne and Christopher also direct True Story Theater, an improvisational performance company that builds community by "playing back" the true life experiences told by members of the audience, and are members of the International Playback Theater Network that connects Playback Theatre troupes round the world. They live in the Boston area with their teenage son.
