All About Values

Rarely do the decisions we make have the power to change lives the way they do at this unique point in history.  Research has shown that the more our decisions align with our values, the more fulfilling and strategic they can be.  This session will focus on exploring participants’ motivational values for their decision making using 21/64’s uniquely designed tool Motivational Values.

Clarifying Your Philanthropic Identity

This inspiring session offers practical experience for participants to reflect on the stories they heard growing up, the values they bring to their philanthropy, and their vision for the legacy they want to leave in the world so they can clarify what they want to fund.  Tools may include What Am I Inheriting?, Motivational Values, and Picture Your Legacy.

Connecting Wealth & Privilege to Purpose

This program provides an opportunity for participants to navigate the complexity of wealth and explore ways to create meaning and purpose for self and others.  In this interactive session, donors can reflect on the messages around wealth they were raised with, consider what’s working and no longer working for them, and help operationalize making decisions in alignment with their purpose. Tools may include Money Messages and rolePlay.

Money & Meaning

In this session, we spend time challenging one of the oldest and most entrenched taboos – money. This session provides easily accessible ways to talk about  money with family members, peers, financial and philanthropic advisors, and others with whom participants interact.  Discover your values around money and observe how your own money story informs or inhibits your money conversations with others to contribute to positive change in society.  Tools may include Money Messages.

Navigating Systems in Relationships

Wondering how to prepare for what issues might arise when broaching subjects such as multigenerational success, legacy planning, or financial and philanthropic engagement with family members?  This session helps make the invisible dynamics of a family system visible to you as a family member, leader or convener of impact-driven discussions.  Learn key theories and use tools to help more comfortably navigate conversations and decision-making toward impact.  Tools may include What Am I Inheriting? and Family Diagram.

Generation Impact: How Next Gen Donors are Revolutionizing Giving

In this informative session, co-authors Sharna Goldseker or Michael Moody will speak though an informed presentation about Gen X and Millennial donors and how they plan to revolutionize giving in ways that will deeply affect us all.  Sharna will bring research as well as stories that bring the research to life including examples of next gen donors’ response to the recent crises in the U.S. Tools may include Motivational Values and Picture Your Legacy.

Growing Goodness

This program for participants, especially with younger children, shares 21/64’s proprietary compilation of key research and ideas curated from the field to distill and convey essential lessons in raising good humans. Participants have the opportunity to reflect on what they’re doing well and can share with their peers, and leave with new tools they can use to strengthen communication and engagement across generations.  Tools may include Growing Goodness.

This is 40: Legacy Conversations with Younger Donors

In this session we will unpack the challenges of discussing and soliciting legacy gifts from younger donors.  21/64 will share research on what motivates next generation donors and best practices for engaging them in your organizations.  Attendees will gain insights and specific tools to advance their practice. Tools may include Picture Your Legacy.

Each speaking engagement includes:

  • One 30-minute intake call with you to determine your needs and clarify the purpose and objectives of our work together.
  • One 30-minute preparation call with you and the speaker before the event to finalize the agenda.
  • Time to prepare on our side.
  • A 60- or 90-minute engaging session (virtual or in-person).

 

We have presented within the U.S., Canada, Europe, Asia, Australia, the Middle East and Latin America to diverse audiences at conferences, board meetings, professional development seminars, donor/client events, and on panels. If you have an upcoming engagement, contact us at 21/64 to leverage our experience and expertise in designing and delivering successful programs and interactive workshops on these issues.

Generation Impact is THE defining resource on the subject of how this rising generation is transforming philanthropy. Sharna and Michael’s deep command of their material and their nuanced insights about who these donors are, why they give, and how they envision creating the world they want to live in will inspire the listener with fresh ideas and hope for what is possible. Amongst all the terabytes of material out there about “Next Gen” giving, Generation Impact is the only one that is consistently in my “must read” list of recommendations.

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!

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 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.

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.

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.
