The Future of Philanthropy: Navigating Multi-Generational Giving TrendsMar 19, 2025 8:00 AM ![]() Professional advisors should closely monitor multi-generational giving trends, especially as significant wealth transfers are taking place. According to Global Finance Magazine, “Younger generations have no loyalty towards their parents’ preferred banks . . . In fact, 87% of children plan to take management of their inheritance elsewhere.” Global Finance Magazine and other sources are calling for an estimated $84 trillion in wealth to be transferred from Baby Boomers to Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z over the next two decades. A lack of perceived loyalty could have a major impact on professional advisors and charitable organizations alike, affecting family giving dynamics. |
