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. Best, Sharna Goldseker Danielle Oristian York Barbara Taylor Sara Finkelstein 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.
