Money and Giving Across Generations Workshop
This workshop brings people with wealth from different generations together to learn from each other's perspectives on money, giving and inheritance. The workshop also delves into the ways that family issues around trust and money can influence—and sometimes interfere—with the way families practice philanthropy.By exploring family dynamics as an intergenerational group, participants develop more effective and insightful strategies for communication across the generations about money and giving.

Class and Activism Workshop
The Class and Activism Workshop creates a space for young activists from diverse class backgrounds to examine issues of classism and privilege together. The workshop asks participants to explore how classism affects and informs their activism as well as the organizations, campuses and social movements they are part of.Through this workshop Resource Generation hopes to provide tools and insights young people can use to better address the general silence around classism in social change activism and to develop honest alliances with each other across class difference.

Philanthropology Program
Emerging Practitioners in Philanthropy (EPIP) is working in collaboration with Resource Generation to provide the Philanthropology program. EPIP's mission is to strengthen the next generation of grantmakers in order to advance effective social justice philanthropy. EPIP's national network is composed of foundation professionals who are young adults and working at foundations, regional associations of grantmakers, and philanthropic affinity groups, as well as foundation trustees, donors, and graduate students studying philanthropy. Most are under 40, new to the field, or in junior positions.The purpose of the Philanthropology Program is to fundamentally alter the way the next generation of grantmakers is oriented and educated about philanthropy, and to transform the way these leaders think about their work and strategies, behave towards colleagues, wield power, and take on leadership. We seek to do this by establishing a curriculum that: bridges theory and practice; looks both forward and back; bridges mainstream and progressive ideas and language; advances effective social justice philanthropy through an honest and critical dialogue; and provides space for learning both amongst peers and across various hierarchies. Philanthropology will be offered throughout the year in the Bay Area , Los Angeles, New England,  New York and Washington, DC and at various national conferences. The program will include the following modules:

• Definitions and understandings of philanthropy
• Role of giving, granting and raising in civil society
• History of philanthropy and foundations in the U.S.
• Current scope, scale, institutions and infrastructure of foundation field
• Trends and issues in global/international philanthropy
