Who We Are

21/64 is a non-profit consulting division of the Andrea and Charles Bronfman Philanthropies that specializes in next generation and multi-generational strategic philanthropy. As families engage the next generation in their foundations, donor advised funds, and other forms of family enterprises, there is an increasing need for clarity, communication and multigenerational collaboration.

While these endeavors are wonderful opportunities for families to work together, challenges can and often do arise when multiple generations and family members with relationship dynamics begin to make decisions together. 21/64 offers consulting, speaking, training and uniquely-developed resource tools to assist families during these times of generational transitions.

Our services can be applied broadly or tailored to address Jewish questions specifically.

What We Do

21/64 works with families, next-generation funders and advisors to families through four hands-on approaches:

Consult with families, foundations and federations in customized settings with our uniquely developed tools to facilitate the process of next-generation or multigenerational cooperation and communication.

Convene networks of next generation family members who explore their legacies, values and philanthropic identities alongside peers with similar backgrounds and experiences.

Communicate through newsletters, research reports, articles and speaking engagements the generational realities we discover in our work with next generation funders and their families.

Train advisors to families who are interested in acquiring the personal skills, generational awareness and technical tools to work more effectively with next-generation funders and family enterprise clients.

21/64 Means Multigenerational

Many people have asked us what 21/64 means. The name is a symbol of our multigenerational approach to family collaboration. "21" symbolizes the time when young people come of age, and "64" an age typically associated with people thinking about their legacies. "21/64" describes the approach we take to helping multi-generational families work together. The numbers are not meant to be exclusive of people older or younger, rather inclusive of the four generations above the age of 21 in American society today.

  • "21/64 facilitated a thoughtful, energetic and insightful conversation among many of our family foundations about engaging the next generation. Participants left better informed about generational perspectives as it relates to philanthropy and a checklist of ideas for encouraging participation among young family members. I’d recommend this as a program for other regional associations of grantmakers."
