Many wealth holders wrestle with similar questions: How much is enough for me and my loved ones? Am I doing enough good with my wealth? How do I move from guilt and overwhelm about my wealth, to clarity and confidence?
Enough Circles bring together 7-8 wealth holders to explore these questions in a brave, confidential and supportive environment. Participants develop clarity on their own personal ‘enough number’ and start the process of planning their surplus wealth deployment for greater positive impact on the world.
During program participation, you will work on:
Addressing psychological barriers that drive accumulation beyond actual needs
Sharing actual wealth figures, in strict confidence, to build trust and break isolation
Exploring inheritance and gifting approaches for loved ones, aligned with values
Calculating your personalized ‘enough number’ for lifestyle and loved ones' needs
Getting clarity on your ‘surplus number’ (wealth not required for your own needs)
Initiating a concrete deployment roadmap and defining next steps
Receiving tailored guidance from vetted experts to help scale deployment and amplify impact (financial planner, money-enoughness coach, philanthropic advisors)
Identifying accountability systems to incentivize follow-through
Format: 5-6 virtual sessions (2 hours each) with monthly cadence
Duration: Approximately 6 months to complete
Group Size: 7-8 members maximum
Time Commitment: ~15 hours total (10 hours sessions + 5 hours preparation)
Cost: The Enough Project offers this program at no charge
This program is best suited to wealth holders who:
Control $50+ million in wealth, with significant liquidity
Can make independent decisions about their wealth (spouses/partners are welcome to join)
Are ready to share and explore difficult questions bravely and act on new insights
Want to move from restricted charitable giving to ambitious high-impact philanthropy
Can prioritize participation in all sessions (session dates will be booked in consultation)
Note: these are guiding criteria and certainly not all set in stone
When participating, participants are asked to commit to the following:
Show up fully: Building trust requires all participants to be present for all sessions (session dates/times are coordinated, to ensure they work for everyone).
Share bravely: Participants discuss actual numbers—wealth, spending, giving—in strict confidence. This transparency creates breakthrough moments.
Act on insights: This isn't theoretical. Participants leave with concrete plans and support to implement them.
Do the work: Between sessions, members engage with family, advisors, and coaches as needed to move forward.

"Before working with the Enough Project, I felt overwhelmed by the challenge of redistributing my wealth effectively. Identifying my 'enough' and 'surplus' numbers helped me develop a strategic 20-year spend-down plan, allowing me to be more deliberate, confident, and effective in my philanthropy, leading to a new sense of both financial freedom and fulfillment." — Nicole
"The program made me face up to the scale of the wealth that I have and take responsibility for it. I learned from both the wealth creators and the inheritors participating—I could see how my children might view things if I didn't share with them the size of our wealth and plans for the future." — Tony
"Before Enough, I didn't think we had surplus. Not only do we have surplus, but even if we increase our philanthropic giving, our kids will be okay. It's given me huge confidence that we can be bolder in giving more." — Wendy
