Millenials aren't really different. Both Gen Xers and some late Boomers have raised MILLENIALS. Millenials have all the characteristics of their parents but there are so many Millenials charities are no longer able to ignore them. Millenials take our questions and scrappiness to a new level of expecting access to the top leaders and transparency about charities. Millenials aren't very different. It's not about the Millenials.

By now, you’ve probably heard about the “Millenials,&# those born between 1981 and 2000 as defined by the Pew Research Center. Summed up, Pew identifies Millenials as “ Confident. The UN is correct–there is a new generation of world citizens who want more, but I don’t think it’s limited to just Millenials. What would you say to world leaders if given the chance? This is the question the UN’s Citizen Ambassadors campaign asks us.

How are you involving millenials in your organization''s work? I''ve been in several conversations and meetings in recent months where the idea of creating a "millenial advisory group" was brought up. And yet, everybody nods and agrees that without the active involvement of millenials, their development of new donors and volunteers is dead in the water. And so, the Millenial Advisory Group. This is a question we''ve all been hearing a lot lately.

A recent study by Deliotte found that almost half of Millenials were thinking of leaving their job in the next 2 years. In nonprofit fundraising, the constant pressure to raise more with fewer resources can be so all consuming that we forget to step back and look at future trends. To help us break out of that, we recently had fundraising futurist Trista Harris in The Nonprofit Academy.

You got into the work to do good. But others don't see it as quickly as you do. On top of that, nonprofit work can be isolating. As they rise, leaders find fewer and fewer people to confide. And fundraisers? Fundraisers tend to be the only people at their organization to think the way they do.
