in wealth is expected to be transferred to the millennial generation. It is estimated that $27 trillion of that money will go to charitable causes, but it may not be the same ones their parents gave to. The next generation tends to think giving is essential, but they’re willing to take more risks with their giving and give to grass roots movements rather than large, established charities. Now’s the time for parents and grandparents to begin conversations, so they can be confident their money is stewarded well when they're gone.
