Arts Rising: An Interview with Christopher Ellinger of the Zing Foundation

Christopher Ellinger is a multi-talented individual who bridges the worlds of healing arts and philanthropy. Together with his wife Anne, he founded the Zing Foundation which helps generate funding for creative projects that emphasize healing and transformation.

Christopher and Anne are also co-directors of True Story Theater, an improvisational performance company that builds community by "playing back" the true life experiences told by members of the audience.

On March 24, 2009, Christopher talked with Arts and Healing Network's Director, Mary Daniel Hobson, about his latest project, Arts Rising, which aims, "to increase funding for arts and social change by engaging new and existing donors using the funding circle model and educational programming."
