While all generations are committed to philanthropy, each generation favors different causes and has a distinct vision of the best way to support those organizations. As the Great Wealth Transfer is projected to pass $68 trillion to the next generation over the coming 25 years, it’s vital that families align on a charitable giving strategy.
This presentation provides an overview of the differing approaches to philanthropy in each generation and guidance on finding common themes to promote multi-generational giving aligned around the family's values.
