21/64 Approach Training for The Columbus Foundation – June 25-26, 2025

The 21/64 Approach Training and ongoing peer network helps you acquire the personal skills, generational awareness, and technical tools to work more effectively with next-generation funders and multigenerational family donors.

In this in-person training, taking place over two days in June 2025, you will learn 21/64’s proven methodology for engaging individuals, families, and institutions at the intersection of values and philanthropy. The program is specifically designed to help you more comfortably engage donors in important and often complicated conversations, whether you are new to the field or a seasoned advisor adjusting to new modalities of engagement.

I highly recommend this training, even if you are quite experienced in family meeting facilitation and client management. In addition to providing outstanding content, the training works on almost a meta level — not only are you covering the toolkits and techniques for facilitating family meetings in detail, but in addition you are able to observe skilled facilitators demonstrate these techniques in action as they work with the group. You are able to reflect about yourself and about the approach you bring to client work as you use the tools, and you are also able to learn from and share best practices with the highly experienced group of peers who attend the training alongside you. A highly valuable use of time!

You have created a fabulous training for the 21/64 methodology and tools – the combination of personal and group development, learning on individual and then facilitation levels, and working with specific tools and an overall system – what a hard balance that you did extremely well. So many thanks for including me in the program!
