"Think you've got the next generation figured out? Think again. This book is packed with studies, stories, and stats to help you effectively engage Gen X and Y in meaningful giving. Read it and you'll get more than a few new dollars today. You'll build new levels of support that last for years to come."—Deirdre Maloney, author of The Mission Myth and President of Momentum

"I've dog-eared nearly half of the pages in this treasure of a book. At once it is an insider's guide to the motivations of the next generation of givers, a tool box for engaging them, and the best primer on social media and fundraising I have seen to date. While full of practical wisdom, it is also a collection of stories and interviews with a host of thoughtful young donors. A must-read for donors and fundraisers alike." —Lisa Parker, President, Lawrence Welk Family Foundation Principal, Family Circle Advisors

"Emily Davis shows us that in philanthropy there can be no 'kids table' at Thanksgiving! Fundraising and the Next Generation gives us the road map for how to engage multiple generations of staff, donors, board members, and community leaders and achieve a much better philanthropic outcome for all. A must-read!" —Josie Heath, President, The Community Foundation Serving Boulder County
