Developing the next generation of nonprofit leaders is critical to the ability of charities and foundations to improve lives around the world.

The NGen: Moving Nonprofit Leaders from Next to Now program helps expand and improve the nonprofit talent pool by developing the skills and networks of emerging leaders under 40. The NGen program contributes to the cultivation of new talent, empowers NGen to contribute to their organizations, and emphasizes the role of younger leaders in the development of the broader nonprofit community.

Since its introduction at the 2008 Independent Sector Annual Conference, NGen has been expanded to include:

NGen pre-conference programming and networking opportunities at the Independent Sector Annual Conference;

• The American Express NGen Fellows Program, a selective fellowship opportunity designed to cultivate leadership among 12 under-40 leaders at IS member organizations;
• The American Express NGen Leadership Award, which honors an under-40 nonprofit leader who has already made significant impact in addressing society’s critical needs; and
• Ongoing opportunities to connect with and learn from NGen leaders, such as the 2012 NGen Leadership Series.
