Thank you for helping us make our event a wonderful and interesting evening. Your insights on the various generations were enlightening.

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!

As an Outsourced Chief Investment Officer, we enjoy serving as an educational resource for the philanthropic families and organizations that we serve. It was a seamless experience to collaborate with 21/64 and host Sharna Goldseker for an interactive discussion about intergenerational philanthropy. We appreciate 21/64’s flexibility in creating this conversation, and their dedication to making our conversation meaningful despite the virtual environment.
