Horizon Community Foundation of Northern Kentucky has launched the NextGen Giving Guide, a new digital resource designed to help individuals, families, educators, and professionals learn about charitable giving and explore ways to support their communities.
The guide was developed in partnership with Magnified Giving and Northern Kentucky University’s Mayerson Student Philanthropy Project. It offers tools, stories, and interactive content to help users learn how to give their time, talent, and financial resources in meaningful ways.
“This is an important step in making philanthropy accessible and fun for the next generation,” Horizon Community Foundation CEO Nancy Grayson said in a news release. “By working with NKU’s Mayerson program and Magnified Giving, we’re helping learners of all ages and stages find their own pathway to impact.”
NKU President Dr. Cady Short-Thompson said the project reflects the university’s commitment to community engagement.
“We are proud to have our students and faculty help bring the NextGen Giving Guide to life and create a resource that will empower others to give back to their communities in any way they can,” she said in the release.
The guide also serves as a tribute to the late Dr. James Votruba, whose leadership helped shape Horizon Community Foundation, Magnified Giving, and the Mayerson Student Philanthropy Project. The resource honors his legacy of education, empathy, and civic engagement.
The NextGen Giving Guide is available at horizoncfnky.org/nextgen-giving-guide.
