When gathering for the upcoming High Holiday meals with family and friends, this might be the year to veer away from a discussion of politics.
Instead, consider exploring a topic that is often overlooked, but is incredibly important –philanthropy. What better time to delve into the subject than over the holidays? A few simple questions will get the conversation going.
21/64, a nonprofit organization “providing multigenerational advising, facilitation and training for next generation engagement, especially within family philanthropy and other family enterprises,” has developed a series of questions to start philanthropy-focused conversations in the form of a deck of cards, Exploring Giving © 2018 21/64, Inc. Each family member can pick a question to discuss. More information may be found at: https://2164.net.
Get talking!
