21/64

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

Peer Group for BIPOC Professionals

Building from our nearly 20 years of facilitating peer cohorts, we’ve seen the individual and collective value that comes from thoughtfully gathering  colleagues with shared identities and practice areas as they navigate change. Moreover, based on one-on-one conversations and survey feedback, we are learning that 21/64 Certified Advisors who identify as Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) are seeking gatherings within 21/64 that cultivate connection, offer consultative guidance and foster shared learning.

Therefore, it is in this spirit that we are hosting three gatherings in 2023 with the goal to provide a supportive environment for BIPOC-identifying 21/64 Certified Advisors to advance their goals in philanthropy and advising and in turn, deepen their capacity to lead in these changing times. In the spirit of all the work we do at 21/64, all of this learning will take place in the company of like-minded peers who are also focused on engaging donors and clients in meaningful ways.

Join us virtually at one or multiple sessions below:

 

(Previous Session) Session 1: Stepping into the Arena of Facilitation 

February 8, 2023 from 12:00p – 1:30pm ET

For our first BIPOC Peer Group session in 2023, we will gather to help you unpack the strengths that empower you and the vulnerabilities that present challenges for you as an effective facilitator. Join us to deepen your self-awareness and explore the different assets you have to engage effectively with donors and clients, and discover the possibilities that you can leverage in guiding groups as a confident agent of change.

 

Session 2: Exploring Interpersonal Dynamics with Donors

June 7, 2023 from 1:00pm – 2:30pm ET

Conversations with donors about philanthropy, wealth, and family often bring about emotions and complexity. At this session, we will help make the invisible dynamics of a donor family system visible to you as an advisor and facilitator of crucial conversations. We’ll do this by inviting you to examine your own family system as a case study, and facilitating a discussion on how you can apply this concept in your day-to-day interactions. You will leave with helpful theories and proven practices in the family dynamics field to help you navigate conversations with your donors.

 

Session 3: Braintrust for Philanthropy and Advising

November 15, 2023 from 3:00pm – 4:30pm ET

Are you working on a thought leadership piece (writing, speaking, podcasting, etc.) or pioneering innovative and community-centered initiatives? Perhaps you’re seeking unbiased feedback or out-of-the-box perspectives regarding a new development in your organization or role. 21/64 is convening a Braintrust powered by the collective intelligence of peers where each participant will come ready to share a specific challenge or opportunity related to their work and receive structured consultation from their peers. You will leave with fresh ideas and a broader perspective on the questions and entrepreneurial ideas that you’re bringing to the table to help enhance or launch your body of work.

 

This is a complimentary offering dedicated to 21/64 Certified Advisors as part of 21/64’s commitment to center the experiences of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color in our community and influence the philanthropic and advisory sector be more inclusive and equitable.

I highly recommend this training, even if you are quite experienced in family meeting facilitation and client management. In addition to providing outstanding content, the training works on almost a meta level — not only are you covering the toolkits and techniques for facilitating family meetings in detail, but in addition you are able to observe skilled facilitators demonstrate these techniques in action as they work with the group. You are able to reflect about yourself and about the approach you bring to client work as you use the tools, and you are also able to learn from and share best practices with the highly experienced group of peers who attend the training alongside you. A highly valuable use of time!

You have created a fabulous training for the 21/64 methodology and 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 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.

Today’s emerging generation of donors are driven by a new definition of success: impact. This is clear through Goldseker and Moody’s work, which uncovers the motives and approaches driving today’s new strategic philanthropists. Many close friends are profiled in this book, and I can attest to their earnest, values-driven approach. For anyone who is eager to understand the next gen donor, this book offers truly valuable insights.

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.

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 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.

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.
