21/64

21/64 is an independent nonprofit practice providing multigenerational advising, facilitation and training for next generation engagement.

Convening.

Network with a group of like-minded peers.

 

Growing up with wealth and philanthropy in your family or coming to it early in adulthood can feel like both an opportunity and a responsibility for the next gen donor. Many next generation want to honor where they’ve come from as well as develop their own philanthropic values and identity.

At 21/64, we have learned that a peer group model is an especially effective forum for next generation learning and growth. Next gen donors can explore the messages and legacies they were raised with, articulate their current philanthropic values, and develop their own philanthropic vision moving forward. We convene and facilitate our own retreats, philanthropic events, and ongoing peer networks, as well as help other organizations do the same. This allows next gen donors to grow individually and as a community, while developing their philanthropic skills, clarifying the roles they want to play in big giving, and building a network of like-minded peers.

Objectives for next gen donors.

2164-training-arrow-down

  • To build a network of next gen donors in similar positions of philanthropic opportunity and responsibility
  • To create a space where members can learn with their peers and outside of their family
  • To invite participants to ask their own questions and explore philanthropic values and approaches
  • To develop a philanthropic analysis and capacity for strategic thinking

The NextGenDonors Retreat is for next gen donors (ages 21 – 40) who are or will be stepping into roles in their family’s philanthropy and for donors who are earners themselves and want to clarify their philanthropic values, identity, and direction.

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.

This retreat was life changing and eye opening. It empowered me to ask my parents the questions about this inherited legacy that I had never previously known how to ask.

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.

The NextGenDonors Retreat was really special for me. I learned so much and it was so nice to meet all the participants. I thought everyone had something great to offer and we connected on this common set of issues. After the gathering, I feel more comfortable speaking about my involvement in my family’s foundation, and less hesitant about speaking in front of a group.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

In a time of deep inequity and great need, these rising generations are set not only to change the face of philanthropy, but also the practice of it, transforming the future in ways both exciting and promising. Generation Impactdoes more than inspire; it also serves as a practical guide to engaging the next generation of giving.
