Fourth Generation's 2025 Kickoff Event

• Get introduced to this year's topic: Food Insecurity

What is Fourth Generation?

This giving circle is a great way to meet new people and get involved in your community!

Fourth Generation is an exciting and engaged group that comes together in a hands-on experience to reimagine philanthropy. Members center equity in the conversation as we learn about grantmaking and pool our resources to make a much bigger difference in the community than we could alone.

We hear from inspiring speakers, explore personal values, engage in thoughtful activities and discussions, and combine our time and money to explore and support organizations that are making real change in our community. Our efforts, discussion, and collective giving transform into community power, personal growth, and social advocacy.

Collectively we can amplify our impact!

Fourth Generation is at its best when our members bring a diversity of experiences and perspectives to the room. Here are ways you can get involved:

• RSVP and attend the kickoff event.
• Invite your friends, coworkers, and family members to join Fourth Generation.
• Share about Fourth Gen through social media.
