21/64 tools helped us explore the what, when, and how to include and engage the next generation. We explored our own values and legacy beyond duty and obligation. 21/64’s unique experiential exercises put structure, tools and strategy into the planning process for our family workshop. The workshop was a huge success! The exercises were fun, dynamic and insightful. It strengthened the bond between the generations of our family, and enabled us to feel a deeper connection to purpose and the reason for our families’ existence. It was a great way to cultivate openness, respect for others, work in teams and negotiate the decision making process.

21/64 joined us and the Cherry Hill Federation and Jewish Book Council at our leadership development kick-off event with all synagogue, day school, and Federation agency boards. Sharna Goldseker spoke about the book, The Grandparent Legacy Project. We had about 70 community lay leaders attend and all felt they got some great information on how to start a dialogue with individuals about creating a legacy with money or personal values. It was a very nice event and Sharna really worked with us to cater to our community and needs.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
