21/64 GRAND STREET TWENTY YEARS LATER

We are honored to share a special milestone with you—the release of a report marking 20 years of next gen donor engagement through 21/64’s Grand Street program.

 

Since our founding in 2003 as a program under the Andrea and Charles Bronfman Philanthropies, and our transition to an independent nonprofit in 2015, 21/64 was one of the first to recognize the growing influence and potential of younger generations—Gen X and Millennials—at a time when philanthropy was primarily led by Traditionalists and Baby Boomers. Through the Grand Street program and next gen work, 21/64 remains committed to empowering next gen donors with the tools and confidence to navigate their philanthropic roles, making a lasting impact in communities with which they’re involved.

The first longitudinal research of its kind, impact report highlights the transformative power of engaging next gen donors early, fostering agency, independence, and leadership.

The report includes first-person quotes and stories from donors, and strategies for engaging this critical group. The success of Grand Street has given rise to other significant next gen donor programs and initiatives in the sector and helped inspire philanthropic learning journeys across the globe.

Our Thanks

Grand Street would not have been possible without the Andrea and Charles Bronfman Philanthropies whose investment secured many years of Grand Street and other next gen programs run by 21/64.

Thanks to the Joyce and Irving Goldman Family Foundation, who stepped in to support Grand Street in a significant way after ACBP sunset, and to their next gen family member Joya Sonnenfeldt whose leadership helped make this report possible.

We are grateful to the Grand Street members who participated in twenty years of growing and giving and especially to those whose contributions of time, talent, treasure, and ties informed this research and our ability to continue to serve in the field. Your willingness to show up, to learn, to stretch, and then to act continues to inspire.

Lastly and as always, thanks to Michael Moody for his research expertise and thought leadership collaboration, as well as to Evelyn Van DeMark and Naaila Hudani, whose coding, analysis, and evaluation skills kept us honest.

 

Testimonials.


The experience of being among peers at with whom I could freely talk about issues of wealth and philanthropy has been valuable on a number of levels. Grand Street has helped me to focus on two very important questions: what is my relationship with Judaism? And how should this inform my future philanthropic choices? I continue to work on both of these. Additionally, the creativity and diversity of perspectives among participants was very stimulating and thought provoking,and many conversations that began at the retreat are still being tossed around among us. The network effects of being part of a group of future Jewish philanthropic leaders are exciting, and I look forward to continuing involvement.

Grand Street is a unique opportunity to meet and learn with other individuals trying to figure out their own philanthropy, family philanthropy, as well as their place in Jewish life. The Grand Street experience provides you with incredible tools and a network to maneuver through the Jewish and philanthropic worlds, tools and lifelong colleagues and friends I still count on today, nine years after my Grand Street experience. I can truly say I wouldn't be half the trustee I am at my family's foundation today if it weren't for Grand Street.
