About the Exploring Series

The Exploring Series from 21/64 (in collaboration with Relative Solutions) is designed to spark meaningful conversations about philanthropy, wealth, and values across generations. Each deck of 50 thoughtfully crafted question cards creates a safe, engaging, and flexible framework for discussion — whether one-on-one, with family, or in group settings.



Help the next generation step into their role as intentional donors.

While Exploring Giving sparks family-wide conversations about philanthropy, Exploring Next Gen Donors goes deeper into the individual identity and leadership journey of rising donors. With the largest wealth transfer in history underway, this tool offers families, advisors, and next gen themselves a way to reflect on who they are becoming as donors — and how they want to shape the future.


What’s included

  • Deck of question cards for reflection and discussion.
  • “How to Play”, “Ways to Play” and “Next Steps” instructions included to guide individuals or groups in using the tool effectively.
  • Cards can be selected and sorted to identify the legacy that resonates most.
  • High-quality, recycled materials, printed in the U.S.
  • Facilitates individual reflection, small group exercises, or large group discussions.


How it works

  • Deck of 50 open-ended question cards focused on donor identity, leadership, and impact.
  • Topics include role models, values, aspirations, generational perspectives, and giving strategies.
  • Supports next gen in being intentional, strategic, and effective in philanthropic choices.
  • Encourages both self-reflection and dialogue with others about the donor they want to become.


Who it’s for

Testimonials

“When I looked up at the white board where everyone’s values had been written, I saw most everybody had some form of love on their value list. It was like a light being turned on!”

"The photo cards are a remarkable resource for quickly stimulating thoughtful and engaging conversation about the things that are important to them and why. I have used them numerous times with groups of various sizes, ages and relationships – ranging from family boards to workshop attendees. In all cases the photos quickly enabled a much deeper discussion more quickly than otherwise would have happened. Terrific that they are also available on an app!"
