NextGen Rochester

We are the next generation of citizens who make “giving back” part of our lives through leadership, friendship, and philanthropy. Our group is comprised of a cross section of the community (typically ages 21-45) who find value in grantmaking to local charitable causes and addressing community needs. It is the intention of NextGen Rochester to not only build assets, but also compassion, knowledge, and community engagement. Each NextGen Rochester member contributes to a fund that awards grants to nonprofits selected by the members. By pooling our donations together, emerging leaders are given a seat of influence in greater Rochester and are able to create an impact far greater than each of us could individually. Learn more about NextGen Rochester by joining us on Facebook or by following our activities on Twitter. How does a giving circle amplify individual impact? Consider this - a member that donated $100 to NextGen last year helped distribute 100 times more dollars to local nonprofits than they would have alone. NextGen Rochester is a program of Rochester Area Community Foundation Initiatives, Inc.
