Talkin bout my generation

I'm not trying to cause a big s-s-sensation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
I'm just talkin' 'bout my g-g-g-generation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
This is my generation
This is my generation, baby
- The Who, 1965

I have an increasingly short attention span. I communicate primarily through IM and Facebook, can't go anywhere without my cell phone or iPod, and I read my morning blogs with a cup of coffee instead of the paper. I am a Millennial, and I'm using my multi-tasking powers to give back.

Everyday I'm trying to bring this knowledge of America’s biggest generation into the nonprofit community. Fortunately for me, Community Shares is already on board. Each day we’re finding new ways to text, blog, and wiki our way into the lives of a new audience of philanthropists.

Feel like you need to catch up? Get by with a little help from our friends at the Case Foundation and the Monitor Institute and checkout these great studies on how the Millennial generation is reshaping the community, and how to Act Wikily.

Dig it? Make a donation to Community Shares and help us continue to spread the idea of living a philanthropic life. Philanthropists look just like you. Just like me. Just like us.
