I thought it was exceptionally well facilitated and by far the best Zoom webinar I’ve attended since being remote full-time. Lots of great content and also just a really good example of how to make large group meetings interesting online – even when they are 90 minutes. The time flew by!

The 21/64 program has been transformational in how I work with my donor clients. I am able to have authentic and actionable conversations about their philanthropy using tools and techniques I learned in the workshop.

The 21/64 training was one of the best uses of my time and resources for my business of advising wealthy families. I have used several of the tools to help deepen the relationships I have with the families I serve. Additionally, I have found the techniques learned in the training to be very useful in the hiring and training process for new employees as well as the 'getting to know you' phase of new client relationships. I cannot recommend 21/64 enough if you are looking for new and value-added ways to serve your clients and their families in their philanthropy.

Just off the phone with a family foundation that found me via 21/64. They have hired me to facilitate a cousin consortium meeting in March. Couldn't be happier. I utterly love this work. Thanks to you, your vision and our 21/64 community!

Thank you!! Your training and materials are so spot on... They are learnable and highly valuable and useful. I just left a family meeting and it went extremely well. I couldn't have scripted it better had I been asked to imagine what a great outcome would be. I asked the family part way through how they felt about the two exercises. They were all very positive about them and really enjoyed doing them.

You have created a fabulous training for the 21/64 tools – the combination of personal and group development, learning on individual and then facilitation levels, and working with specific tools and an overall system – what a hard balance that you did extremely well. So many thanks for including me in the program!

The 21/64 Virtual Approach Training is high quality and organized, and a great use of the virtual meeting space and peer network. This is one of the best, most useful trainings I've been in and that I'll actually use. I look forward to the next training opportunity to add layers of knowledge and tools to this base. Also, the group of individuals participating in the training was professional and qualified. There weren't stark differences in fields or experience levels, which I found helpful and made the experience more valuable in the time we had to learn and discuss the topics and tools.

While particularly helpful if engaging in multi-generational discussions of philanthropy, this training is applicable to anyone consulting in the philanthropic sector. It's a great session to learn about tools for facilitation and discovering your own voice and approach as a facilitator.

Thank you to everyone at 21/64 for a truly incredible experience, especially when considering the unique nature of virtual training and the world we are in. I can only imagine how quickly you've had to pivot to find a way to present a huge amount of information efficiently and effectively in a virtual environment (and in a field that thrives on personal connection). Thank you for doing it so well, and for leaving space for everything that we brought to the table during this strange season. During our time together, you executed a training and created a community that was valuable, refreshing, and affirming. I look forward to remaining engaged with the community and applying many of the lessons learned in my day-to-day.

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.

In Generation Impact, Michael and Sharna offer a compelling analysis of how Gen X and Millennials are already revolutionizing giving—and will continue to do so for years to come. 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.

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.

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.

This updated edition with Best Practice Guides is published at the right time to help philanthropists of all generations have conversations, plan, and take action to rise to the moment.

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.

Today’s emerging generation of donors are driven by a new definition of success: impact.

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.
