The donors who sit at the apex of giving affect your life more than you might know. Whether Gen Xers or Millennials, America's next generation of rising donors will have an outsized impact on the causes we all care about, eclipsing even those famous philanthropists who have come before. But who are these next gen donors? And how will they change big giving?

Generation Impact, UPDATED AND EXPANDED puts you at the heart of today's philanthropic revolution. Based on years of research and candid insights from the vanguard of next gen donors, this book offers a rare profile of the new face of philanthropy. You will get a look inside the "Impact Revolution" already under way in the world of giving, and learn what this revolution means for all of us.

Generation Impact UPDATED AND EXPANDED includes fascinating first-person accounts from next gen donors like Justin Rockefeller, Victoria Rogers, Hadi Partovi, John Rutherford Seydel III, Alex Soros, and Katherine Lorenz. Find out, directly from them:

• How they want to revolutionize giving to expand its positive impact on our lives and our communities.
• Which causes interest them, and how they want to engage with those causes.
• Which new tools and strategies for change excite them most.
• What they are learning from previous generations, and what they want to bring to their work alongside those generations.

Changing philanthropy in fundamental ways will be messy. But it could also result in solutions for some of our most persistent problems. Generation Impact, UPDATED AND EXPANDED offers targeted, practical advice to those who work closest with these next gen donors on how to engage, nurture, and encourage them as they reshape major giving, making their mark on history. Families, advisors, nonprofit professionals, and anyone who cares about a cause will learn how to help these rising donors channel their enthusiasm—and their wealth—to make the most positive difference in today's world.
