Certified Advisors

Who Are We?

21/64 Certified Advisors are individuals from a range of industries, ethnicities and countries. They share a desire and practice that helps others make more strategic decisions around their time, talent, treasure and ties through an understanding of their identity and values. 21/64 Certified Advisors aim for this transformative work to have positive impact on relationships with self and family, local community and the global world.

Across the globe, 1200 professionals hold the designation of 21/64 Certified Advisor. 21/64 Certified Advisors share a commitment to the work of individuals, families and communities who want to ignite change across generations using 21/64’s proven methodology for engaging people at the intersection of values and governance.

To attain this designation, each advisor completes the 21/64 Approach Training where they develop skills, learn frameworks and technical tools and practice leading conversation about values, vision, identity, and legacy in order to work more effectively with next-generational funders and multigenerational family enterprise clients with a particular emphasis on facilitation. The 21/64 Approach Training is specifically designed to help 21/64 Certified Advisors more comfortably engage donors and clients in important and often complicated conversations, whether they are new to the field or seasoned advisors adjusting to new modalities of engaging with clients.

Additionally, as advisors committed to ongoing learning, Certified Advisors join colleagues in a collective forum where wisdom is shared, field research and articles and innovations are offered so practices are enriched and relationships with other professionals advising families are built across the globe.

Certified Advisors hold themselves accountable to the 21/64 Principles of Practice and as a community, govern the violations of these Principles through the Peer Review Process.

Once a 21/64 Certified Advisor, practitioners have access to advanced trainings on topics such as Managing Family Dynamics, Talking About Money, and the Art of Facilitation.

Generation Impact is THE defining resource on the subject of how this rising generation is transforming philanthropy. Sharna and Michael’s deep command of their material and their nuanced insights about who these donors are, why they give, and how they envision creating the world they want to live in will inspire the listener with fresh ideas and hope for what is possible. Amongst all the terabytes of material out there about “Next Gen” giving, Generation Impact is the only one that is consistently in my “must read” list of recommendations.

Danielle led a session for us for about 120 of our high-end clients. It was an interview with one set of family members about the messages they were given about philanthropy growing up and how they are playing out differently in their lives. was so much energy and discussion around the tools and exercises, with participants discussing who else they wanted to try them with. Many of them have contacted me since to inquire about how best to do so!

Generational change is upon us, and Goldseker and Moody have spent years finding out what drives those best positioned to fund social change. What better way to understand next gen donors than hearing their stories first-hand in order to become effective partners in organizing, supporting, and advocating for the rights of those who need it most.

When my clients and students express curiosity or frustration about engaging Gen Xers and Millennials in philanthropy, I tell them that the ‘go to’ book is Generation Impact. This book has been a refreshing guide and resource for me and so many. The insights and profiles in the book are framed with solid philanthropic analysis and a generous supply of informed observations. Of particular importance to me is the exploration of the continuing persistence of values as a primary motivator for Gen X and Millennial philanthropy—as they have been for centuries.

The updated edition of Generation Impactcomes at a critical juncture for the increasingly complex and uncertain times we’re living in. The world has changed dramatically since it first came out only a few years ago, and the new preface offers an important ‘sense-making’ perspective about how next gen donors are responding to societal upheavals and existential crises. The Best Practice Guides are provocative and insightful, as well as practical and realistic. I will be referring to them often as thedefinitive playbook for engaging next gen donors and changemakers as they rise to meet the moments of our time.

The new book by Sharna Goldseker and Michael Moody won’t be a classic someday. It is. Now. Their book is all about now and giving and this generation that, right before our very eyes, emerged from being the ‘next generation’ to what Goldseker and Moody reveal is the ‘now generation’—that generation with the intellectual, human, and financial capital needed to tackle the massive challenges confronting the planet, the country, and their own backyards. The Goldseker/Moody approach to telling the stories of these givers and this new age of giving is fresh and creative: at once inspirational and how to, heartening, and instructive. For families, emerging philanthropists, and old pros trying to disrupt themselves, this book is a lantern in dark times, a light in the world we are all trying to fathom—and fix.

With great abundance comes great responsibility. In Sharna and Michael’s stunningly important book we have a deep and learned look into how (with ‘engagement’) and why (‘to achieve impact’) Gen Xers and Millennials are becoming today’s philanthropists. Give yourself the gift of knowing what to expect as you engage with emerging philanthropists from these cohorts. Join these authors as they bring to life the motivations, actions, and philosophies of giving of these remarkable, dedicated philanthropists who expect to help solve the social, economic, political, and cultural issues of the past and present, and who want to lead us toward a magnificent future for our planet and its peoples. I am sure that many of my silent generation cohort will love learning about the feeling of engagement and passion for impact among these young philanthropists.
