21/64 established a national Advisory Committee, who are instrumental in shaping and supporting the program since its launch in 2020.

Since then, 21/64 convenes an annual cohort and builds a network of BIPOC-identifying professionals in philanthropy and advising to:

• Inspire participants to courageously draw upon their lived experiences and the multiple facets of their identities to inform their work, so as to be relational and transformational in their interactions with donors, clients and colleagues;

• Learn 21/64’s Approach and acquire personal skills, generational awareness, and technical tools to work more effectively with next-generation funders and multigenerational family enterprise clients;

• Build social capital through a peer learning model to provide a trusting learning environment, to explore ideas, navigate challenges, adopt new strategies and advance their careers;

• Hone participants’ personal narratives to help them articulate their vision as philanthropic advisors and in doing so, inspire donors  to diversify their philanthropic investments toward just, equitable and community-led initiatives; and,

• Build trusting and transformative relationships with donors with whom they work in their communities in an effort to diversify their philanthropic investments.
