NextGen Rochester gives a philanthropic voice to young professionals. NextGen Rochester, an initiative of Rochester Area Community Foundation, is a peer-led form of philanthropy called a giving circle. The members are the next generation of citizens who want to make “giving back” part of their lives through leadership, friendship, and philanthropy. The group is comprised of a cross section of the community (typically age 21-45) who find value in grantmaking to local charitable causes and addressing community needs. NextGen provides philanthropic opportunities that young professionals at all income levels can access to enact positive changes in greater Rochester. |
