Grand Street - A Giving Community Founded by 21/64Mission: The goals of Grand Street are as follows:

- To invite participants to ask their own questions.
- To develop their Jewish analysis and capacity for strategic thinking.
Brief: Against a backdrop of a generational wealth transfer and changing dynamics in the American Jewish community, Grand Street is a place where young Jews (18-28 years old) who are involved or will be involved as leaders in their family's philanthropy come together. Grand Street began in 2002 with twelve people meeting for a weekend to ask their own questions, to develop a Jewish philanthropic analysis and capacity for strategic thinking, to create a space where they can find personal development, and where they can build a network of their peers in similar positions of philanthropic responsibility. A new cohort of ten individuals is added each year. |
