Next Gen Advisory Board
To carry on the family legacy of giving and serving a Next Gen Advisory Board was created. The goal is to develop a new generation of philanthropists ready to join the foundation board or create their own approach to meaningful service. The Next Gen Board is comprised of 4th generation Bruno family members ages 21-40. They are learning about community needs, nonprofits and philanthropy and will participate in an annual grant process with an allocation from the foundation grantmaking budget.
