Next Generation United

Uniting the next generation of philanthropic leaders.

Stepping up to ensure a brighter future.

Next Generation United (NGU) is a giving community for the next generation of leaders who donate $100 or more annually to United Way of Buffalo & Erie County. NGU enables a network of young professionals to be agents of change by tackling local worthy causes through fun, social and impactful opportunities. NGU allows WNY’s rising leaders to reshape the norms of philanthropy by creating unique connections to community nonprofits that are poised to tackle some of Buffalo’s most pressing challenges.
