The Enough Project
A brave exploration into wealth, impact and well-being
In a world where wealth is distributed highly unequally, a few of us are fortunate to be blessed with more than enough.
If we choose, we can unlock our surplus wealth to do an extraordinary amount of good, while experiencing a deep sense of personal well-being.
What is the Enough Project?
The Enough Project was founded with the goal of helping people with significant wealth to unlock their impact potential, and in so doing, increase their level of personal well-being.
We are a non-profit organization and we do not charge for our services. Our exploration of 'enough' covers three core elements:
Enough?
Having Enough: How much is Enough? When can we stop accumulating wealth? Many of us are driven to accumulate ever more wealth, or to preserve most of what we have—often driven by insecurity or obligation (and reinforced by advisors). When we work out how much we actually need (in a totally non-judgmental nor prescriptive way), the answer is usually surprising and provides both financial clarity and a sense of security.
Enough!
Doing Enough: Despite our desire to contribute to a better world, we often feel powerless or uncertain how to do so. However, when we unlock our surplus resources and allow their deployment to be guided by the world’s needs more than exclusively by our own biases, experience, and proximity, we can make a very meaningful contribution to tackling the world's pressing problems.
Enough.
Being Enough: It feels liberating to stop chasing 'more' to feel secure or fulfilled. By fostering a sense of both ‘having enough’ (for yourself) and ‘doing enough’ (for the world), the Enough Project is about finding balance and purpose, leading to a true sense of personal well-being.
Inspiring & Enabling Enough
We support those interested in bravely exploring 'enough' in the following ways:
Enough Circles: facilitating small, high-trust exploration circles with wealth holders interested in asking and answering 'how much is enough?' and then taking ambitious action.
Personalised Advisory: providing bespoke guidance to compute 'enough' and clarifying the 'surplus' that can be used to making the world a better place (this process often includes bringing family members into alignment).
Enough Simulation Tool: with our new tool, you can do your own rough Enough simulation. Just fill in some simple financial information, on your free personal copy, to calculate your own ‘enough’ number and clarify your financial surplus.

A Little About Us
Brent Kessel | Co-founder
Brent earned his own wealth in the wealth management industry. As such, he has many years of insight into how this industry is set up to drive wealth holders to grow, or at minimum preserve, their wealth, rather than increase their sense of well-being and unlock their surplus capital to contribute to tackling the world's pressing problems.
Robert Boogaard | Co-founder
Robert's mission is to inspire and enable people with resources (wealth, talent, influence) to create significantly more impact. He manages a single family office which has applied ‘enough’ in practice, funds philanthropic and impact field-building, and has catalyzed a number of initiatives that support wealth holders to leverage their resources for impact.
