This training will be hosted at the Cedarbrook Lodge Conference Center conveniently located between Seattle and Tacoma, WA just minutes from Sea-Tac Airport.

21/64 is thrilled to return to the Pacific Northwest in 2025 for our flagship 21/64 Approach Training. Co-sponsored by Greater Tacoma Community Foundation, Seattle Foundation, and D.A. Davidson Companies, the Approach Training is a recognized certification program that explores the human dimension of work with multigenerational family enterprises and next gen donors. Attendees learn how to help clients clarify their identities, which in turn informs grantmaking, governance, family engagement, and structures for decision-making. Participants will acquire the personal skills, generational awareness, and technical tools to work more effectively with clients, families, and donors.

In this in-person training taking place over two days, you will learn 21/64’s proven methodology for engaging individuals, families, and institutions at the intersection of values and governance. The program is specifically designed to help you more comfortably engage donors and clients in important and often complicated conversations, whether you are new to the field or a seasoned advisor adjusting to new modalities of engaging with clients.

Once you've completed the 21/64 Approach Training, you will become a 21/64 Certified Advisor, joining a global network of accredited professionals. You will also have the option of joining the 21/64 Learning Community with free access to continued skill building, next level trainings, the latest resources and tools, and more.

Participants should plan for a combination of live learning in person, small group participant discussion, and independent work before and between sessions.
