ANA Nonprofit: Gen X – The Next Great Giving Generation

This event is over.

The latchkey kids. The MTV generation. The cynical slackers.

Sandwiched between the larger baby boomer and millennial age groups, gen X is frequently overlooked and underappreciated. But we’re channeling our Judd Nelson vibes, raising our fingerless-gloved fist high and telling nonprofit marketers, “don’t, don’t, don’t you forget about them.”

As more and more baby boomers shift into retirement age, generation X stands poised to make the biggest impact on charitable giving in the coming decades.

In this virtual half-day conference, we’ll discuss our research on the next big cohort of wealth in North America:

The digital divide within gen X
Giving behaviors of different generations
The attitudes on life that gen Xers hold
Core values driving both behaviors and attitudes
