Bringing fresh ideas, networks, and energy, Next Gen members serve as ambassadors for the organisation globally and fundraise to support our work. They join our community of grantee partners, colleagues, major supporters, Board Directors, Underwriters, and thousands of financial professionals around the globe who are passionate about helping to create brighter futures.
