Know a founder who should be recognized for leading social change?

Future of Good’s 2020 New Founders To Watch list highlights the stories and insights of 21 courageous individuals who started something new. 

The Thomson Reuters Foundation recently named Canada as the best place to start a social enterprise. And research shows the nonprofit and charitable sector grew at a faster rate than the overall economy from 2010 to 2014. While there’s a lot to learn from established organizations, there’s a ton of wisdom from new entities gaining traction, too — especially during these uncertain times, when all social impact organizations are adjusting to a quickly-changing world and sector. 

Featuring founders who started organizations less than three years old — including non-profits, co-operatives, movements, foundations, funds, and businesses — and doing game-changing work on causes they care about, this list celebrates brave founders leading change. 

We are looking for new founders from across the country to feature in this series. 

Know someone who founded an organization less than three years ago and is getting traction? We’d like to tell their story. Nominate them today here. Deadline is May 4, 2020, 10pm ET.
