Create a world where changemakers flourish. 

It’s an audacious, incredibly rewarding vision that our team is dedicated to achieving. 

Future of Good is built on the idea that every changemaker should access the best insights, knowledge, and analysis to propel their work. As a digital publication, our mission is to enrich changemakers everyday with smart coverage of the social impact world. Our readers are changemakers passionate about all kinds of causes and work in non-profits, grassroots groups, social enterprise, social finance, philanthropy, cooperatives, corporate citizenship, academia and government from across the country. 

Our reporters cover diverse topics shaping the social impact world—from inclusion and anti-racism to global development to digital transformation and social finance. In addition to our journalism, Future of Good has developed and convened a number of events on transformational topics, and include: Black Leadership in Social Impact summit, Dismantling Digital Barriers summit, Transforming Funding Models summit, and the Women’s Economic Resilience summit. To date, Future of Good’s events have convened thousands of changemakers from coast to coast to coast. 

Future of Good is a new organization; however, we are striving to be a new type of organization. Benefits, wellness days and development opportunities are still rare in many social purpose organizations but we believe they are essential. Our values are: artistic, brave, curious, humble, inclusive and respectful.

Wellness matters. 

At Future of Good, wellness is central to our cultural DNA. All Future of Good staff have five weeks paid vacation, unlimited health days, Fridays off in the summer, and a comprehensive benefits package. Everybody talks about how good paid vacation is in Europe, so we looked it up and matched it. Soon, we’ll be exploring four-day work weeks.

Learning and growth matters.

We believe that continuous learning and unlearning helps us realize our collective potential. All Future of Good staff get paid time off as well as technology and professional development funds to fuel their creativity, learning and growth. Attend a course, upgrade your laptop, sign up for a conference or learn new software. 

Pay transparency matters.

All pay ranges at Future of Good are made public in postings. To go even further, all interview candidates are compensated for their interview time, and the ratio between the lowest paid full-time employee and highest-paid full-time employee is no more than 3:1. So if the top must rise, then the bottom must rise too.

Join us. Let’s help changemakers flourish.
