Help us help our community through the Alternatives Venture Fund

Cisela Edstrom Wildes

I was born and raised in Sweden, but have several old connections with Ithaca. It was exciting to open an account with Alternatives when my late Swedish husband, Dag, and I moved to help start Ecovillage in Ithaca back in 1993, as it was exactly the kind of bank we wanted to support and be part of. We returned to Sweden in 1997, but I kept my account with Alternatives. I have found it easy to have this account even though I lived in Sweden and now live in the Northwest - and it's my intention to continue to stay with Alternatives in the future when I plan to move out of the country again.
