The Phil Porter

Phil Porter has stewarded and created InterPlay alongside Cynthia Winton Henry for thirty-three years. As he transitions out of the day-to-day tasks and into a role as a mentor, he hopes to build InterPlay's financial capacity by creating a reserve fund, playfully named "InterPlay's Piggy Bank". 

Our greatest hope and dream is that InterPlay continues to thrive and change the world for the better, offering embodiment practices that bring ease, joy, connection, and release to many. By creating an InterPlay Future Fund, we are creating stability for InterPlayers who will carry forward our principles so we continue to incrementally change the world. 

Although the future is always uncertain, we are certain that we want InterPlay available for centuries to come! The InterPlay Future Fund will keep us afloat if economic fluctuations arise. It is usually the case that anxiety about finances in any organization, especially nonprofits, lands on a few shoulders. As Phil prepares to let go of his own sense of responsibility, he believes that creating this fund will help decrease that ongoing worry of those who are “left with the (money) bag.” That is one of the reasons that over the last few years he has earmarked some of his own contributions to InterPlay specifically to increase InterPlay’s current reserve fund. 

Building a larger fund will help InterPlay be prepared for what the future may bring, combining our gracious money practice with the stability of a reserve fund creating an enriching future.

Many of us have learned money lessons from Phil. His wisdom around money is unquantifiable. Please help us honor Phil's ever-present leadership by making a contribution today!
