Next Generation Initiative
Mission
The Next Generation Initiative (NGI) is a group of community-minded individuals working to effect a positive impact within DuPage by engaging and empowering our county's next generation of philanthropic leaders and volunteers and providing them with opportunities to connect, learn, and give back.
What Is NGI?
NGI offers opportunities for like-minded community leaders of all ages to join together to learn about philanthropy, participate in the giving process, volunteer, and help raise the quality of life for the residents of DuPage County.
NGI has granted more than $150,000 to local non-profit organizations.
Benefits of Joining
NGI hosts a mix of activities for members each year, including social events, volunteer projects, and more.
