Alex Edgar
Gen Z philanthropic strategist & Principal of AWE Strategies
I advise foundations, nonprofits, and institutions on how to better invest in young people, share power across generations, and respond to a rapidly changing world.
Communities have the answers already
Institutions have long claimed to serve young people and their communities without changing who actually identifies the problems, builds the solutions, and makes the decisions.
AWE Strategies is focused on closing that gap.
We helps leaders rethink how they invest in young people and their communities, design programs and strategies with them, build genuinely intergenerational institutions, and turn generational change into an opportunity for better decision-making.
Youth and their communities aren’t people to understand. They’re essential partners in figuring out what comes next.
How We Can Help
-
Philanthropic Strategy
We help foundations think more deeply about how they invest in young people and their communities, where their strategy is falling short, and what it would look like to shift more decision-making power toward the people closest to the work.
-
Intergenerational Leadership Design
We work with organizations to build the structures, expectations, and relationships that allow people of different generations to lead together.
-
Next Generation Strategy
We help organizations understand what generational change means for their strategy, programs, workforce, and communications.
