Animal Archetypes Card Deck - Money Stories Edition

Every one of us carries a money story — and most of us don't know it's running. Shaped by early experiences of scarcity, abundance, power, and survival, these unconscious patterns follow us into every capital decision: what we fund, what we avoid, who we trust, and what we believe resources are for. Designed specifically for professionals in philanthropy and investing, these 12 Money Stories Animal Archetypes translate core survival patterns into the language of funding practice — grant-making, investment committees, funder-grantee relationships, and integrated capital structures.

Each card includes the animal's core pattern, sector-specific behavioral descriptions, strengths and shadow behaviors, an origin question rooted in your early relationship to money, and an integration invitation focused on purpose-driven resource allocation.

Use the cards for individual self-reflection or facilitated workshops. Particularly effective as a workshop opening for integrated capital, blended finance, and trust-based philanthropy convenings. Cards measure 5" x 4". Deck includes 12 cards.
