Next Gen Philanthropy: Inspiring the New Generosity Generation

Brooklyn Org believes that anyone and everyone can practice generosity — and we provide multiple pathways for you to help ignite change for our communities, from memberships to volunteering to Donor Advised Funds and more.

In the conversation below hosted by the Founder of ImpactPro Tech Tina Duong, our President & CEO Dr. Jocelynne Rainey joined Director of 21/64 Andine Sutarjadi and Philanthropy Advisor Rose Lavandero to discuss:

• ​Opportunities for greatest social impact
• ​Obstacles to giving
• ​Who can support individual donors on their philanthropy path

Giving often begins at home. Indeed, in just 5-10 years, we will begin to see the start of the largest wealth transfer in history. It is estimated baby boomers will transfer $84 trillion over the next 20 years to Gen X, millennials, and Gen Z. The potential for philanthropy is enormous, not only in terms of gift sizes, but also in how this next generation of givers will engage with the social impact community.

So much comes down to building relationships, and helping people develop a sense of belonging, connection, and community, especially when access to resources can vary so much even in a single neighborhood. As Dr. Rainey shared,  “when you live in communities in Brooklyn — like my own neighborhood, Bed-Stuy— you can be living two doors down from a millionaire, and two doors down from a family that’s struggling.” Watch the discussion to hear more insights on next generation philanthropy:
