21/64 Certified Advisors of Color (CAOC) Program is a leadership development opportunity that advances philanthropic advisors and professionals who identify as Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) as they build trusting and transformative relationships with donors and, together, move resources in just and equitable ways. With the continued intention of taking responsibility for diversifying the field of philanthropic advising, we envision that this transformational approach will inspire shifts in relationships between donors and professionals, ultimately directing more funds towards organizations and communities dedicated to advancing a more just and equitable world. Given the success of the program's first three years and a continued demand from our colleagues in the field, 21/64 are welcoming applications to launch two new cohorts this coming year: -1- The Approach Cohort dedicated to BIPOC-identifying professionals new to 21/64's Certification and Multigenerational Approach. -2- The Advanced Cohort dedicated to BIPOC-identifying professionals within the 21/64 Certified Advisors network. We invite you to explore both cohort experiences below, and we encourage you to consider applying or recommending a colleague or peer to join us.

A colleague recently asked me if getting a Master’s degree or MBA is needed for career advancement. I've been working on my second Master's since 2019 at McColl School of Business at Queens University of Charlotte. This journey has not only sharpened my knowledge and skillset but opened doors to conversations and perspectives that I never would have encountered in my day-to-day role. The value of continuous education is not about the credential. It's about the growth, the connections, and the insights that challenge you to see things differently. It’s about making yourself more agile, adaptable, and prepared for the unknowns in an ever-changing world. Whether or not an advanced degree is needed depends on the individual and their goals, but for me, it’s been a transformative experience—one that has expanded my career possibilities far beyond what I had initially imagined. I encourage anyone to embrace lifelong learning. You never know what opportunities might unfold. #ContinuousLearning #MBA #CareerGrowth #McCollSchoolOfBusiness #LifelongLearning

Foundation board and development council members are essential allies in advancing philanthropy. Yet, many leadership volunteers say they don’t have the information and tools needed to proactively and confidently engage. That’s why Accordant developed the substantive and attractive 2024 Foundation Board Member Handbook specifically to support and educate leaders. The board manual not only features best and emerging practices in foundation board governance but also provides context around trends, issues and data that impact board work.
