ABOUT 21/64
Dear Prospective Member,
Our Story
Grand Street is run by 21/64, a
non-profit consulting practice
specializing in next generation
and multigenerational
engagement in philanthropy and
family enterprise. Originally
incubated by the Andrea and
Charles Bronfman
Philanthropies, 21/64 has
become a preeminent resource
for families and their advisors
when engaging the next
generation and creating
multigenerational conversations.
A fusion of experiential learning
and purposeful skill building,
keenly designed with insight
about the next generation, is the
hallmark of 21/64 coaching,
consulting services, speaking,
training, and tools.
Our Approach
There is an increasing need for
clarity, communication, and
multigenerational collaboration
as families engage the next
generation in their foundations,
donor advised funds, family
offices, and other forms of family
enterprise. We strive to help
multigenerational families, next
generation donors, and advisors
to families address these needs.
21/64 works with those who
believe that successful families
are intentional about both their
human, philanthropic, and
financial assets.
Grand Street is a place where Jews (ages 18 to 28 years old) who are involved,
or will be involved, as leaders in their family's philanthropy can come together.
Founded in 2002, Grand Street began with twelve people meeting for a
weekend to ask their own questions, develop a Jewish philanthropic analysis,
create a space where they could find personal development, and where they
could build a network of peers in similar positions of philanthropic responsibility.
Since these were not subjects they had been able to discuss anywhere else, the
efficacy of Grand Street proved palpable and the demand grew. Since that time,
a new cohort of individuals is invited to join the Grand Street network each year.
Founding members of the network took it upon themselves to identify the vision
of Grand Street, which they articulate as follows:
 To build a network of young Jews in similar positions of philanthropic
responsibility;
 To create a space where members can develop in the philanthropic realm with
their peers and outside of their family;
 To invite participants to ask their own questions; and,
 To develop a Jewish analysis and capacity for strategic thinking.
While there are no preconceived outcomes or expectations for participation in
the network, there have been unexpected benefits. Those participants who lean
into the opportunity of Grand Street find themselves realizing personal growth,
professional opportunities, roles within family philanthropy, and leadership
positions within the Jewish and secular not-for-profit realms. What begins as a
peer learning experience blossoms into a catalyst for knowledge and action.
The Grand Street network is a unique opportunity for next gen Jews to explore
what it means to be in a family involved with Jewish philanthropy. As most 18-28
year olds are defining their identity at this stage of their lives, a network of peers
provides a space for independent, yet informed and supported, exploration.

TESTIMONIALS
“Grand Street is a unique
opportunity to meet and learn
with other individuals trying to
figure out their own
philanthropy, family
philanthropy, as well as their
place in Jewish life. The Grand
Street experience provides you
with incredible tools and a
network to maneuver through
the Jewish and philanthropic
worlds, tools and lifelong
colleagues and friends I still
count on today, nine years
after my Grand Street
experience. I can truly say I
wouldn't be half the trustee I
am at my family's foundation
today if it weren't for Grand
Street.”
— Grand Street Participant
This retreat was life changing
and eye opening. It empowered
me to ask my parents the
questions about this inherited
legacy that I had never
previously known how to ask.
— Jenna Weinberg, Cohort 9
Grand Street Overview
New cohort participates in a weekend retreat, which offers attendees space to
explore, off the record, the legacy each has inherited from his or her family
beyond wealth, and clarify what each person wants his/her own philanthropic
values and vision to be moving forward. The agenda contains a mix of formal
and informal exercises and discussions to give the cohort the opportunity to
engage in a meaningful set of conversations about Jewishness, philanthropy,
family, and the intersection of the three.
Participants are eager to meet their peers, learn more about each other’s
experiences, and leave the weekend empowered to continue their
conversations and explorations. The new cohort weekend can also be a catalyst
for a participant’s serious engagement with their family’s philanthropy.
Grand Street is an ongoing opportunity, which in its thirteenth year,
continues to support members who began with us over a decade ago. After the
New Cohort Retreat, members are welcome to participate in programming and
network events at their leisure. 21/64 always provides an open door for
personalized coaching, referrals, and support to all members.
