For over two decades, 21/64 has had the privilege of guiding the next generation of donors, preparing 20-30-something individuals who bear the opportunity and responsibility of family philanthropy, so they can step into those roles as thoughtful stewards, using those philanthropic resources to make a difference where there is need. The Grand Street retreat is where so many of these journeys begin.
The Grand Street retreat embodies 21/64’s unwavering belief in the power of next gen donors to drive innovation, foster closer connections with the communities they support, engage in open dialogue with their families and social networks and catalyze positive and lasting change. We look forward to facilitating these transformative experiences, empowering next gen donors to navigate their philanthropic journeys and make a meaningful difference.
Marking twenty years of next gen donor engagement through 21/64’s Grand Street program, this report look at the evolution of next gen donors, including first-person quotes and stories from Grand Street alumni and organizational strategies for engaging the next generation.
Grand Street is designed to be interactive and an off-the record exploration where the cohort can engage in profound conversations surrounding identity, philanthropy, family dynamics, and the intersections of these three. Our goal is to empower participants, equipping them with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to continue their conversations and explorations beyond the two-days of learning.
The retreat acts as a catalyst. By providing participants with a nurturing and supportive environment, the Grand Street retreat fosters personal growth, deepens understanding, and cultivates a sense of purpose among the cohort, ensuring participants leave the experience with a renewed sense of motivation and a strong foundation for their philanthropic journeys.

Since 2002, 21/64 has been the trusted support system for next gen donors and inheritors. Grand Street provides a space for individuals come together and explore their inherited legacy beyond wealth.
Through off the record conversations and interactive exercises, participants will convene to clarify their philanthropic identities, develop a vision for their future and shape their philanthropic endeavors in alignment with their personal values and the rising needs of their communities. Participants who lean into the Grand Street opportunity find themselves realizing personal growth, professional opportunities, roles within family philanthropy, and leadership positions in the nonprofit sector
In our 21st year of facilitating next gen donor learning cohorts, we have found that the peer-to-peer relationship aspect has consistently been a highlight and a valuable addition to the program. Founding members of the network took it upon themselves to identify the vision of Grand Street, which they articulate as follows:
Grand Street is an ongoing opportunity, which in its 21st cycle, continues to support members who began with us over two decades ago. Included in the Retreat is a follow-up call with 21/64 to reflect on your experience and think about next steps. After the Grand Street Retreat, members are welcome to participate in programming and network events at their leisure. 21/64 always provides an open door for personalized coaching, referrals, and support to all members.
