Careers
Create a world where changemakers flourish.
At Future of Good, we believe every changemaker deserves sharp, useful insight to power their work. As a digital publication, we cover the ideas, people, and trends shaping Canada’s social impact world — and our readers come from nonprofits, grassroots groups, social enterprise, philanthropy, government, and more.
Our journalism spans everything from anti‑racism to global development to digital transformation. And we don’t just report — we bring people together. Our events, including the Changemaker Wellbeing Summit, the Social Finance Summit, and the Black Leadership in Social Impact Summit, have connected thousands of changemakers across the country.
Wellness matters.
At Future of Good, wellness is central to our cultural DNA. All Future of Good staff have four weeks of 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.
Learning and growth matters.
We believe that continuous learning 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 publicly posted. The ratio between the lowest-paid full-time employee and the 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.

Regional Representative — Calgary (Freelance Position)
Term: September 1, 2026 – August 31, 2028
Compensation: $1,250/month
Location: Calgary and surrounding region
Future of Good is expanding its national network of regional representatives, and we’re seeking a Calgary‑based freelance journalist with strong community ties to help us deepen coverage of philanthropy, social impact, and community innovation in Alberta.
If you’re a journalist who knows Calgary’s social‑purpose ecosystem — its leaders, its emerging ideas, its underreported stories — this role gives you a platform to elevate them to a national audience.
About the Role
As Calgary’s Regional Representative, you’ll act as a connector, scout, and storyteller. You’ll identify compelling initiatives, trends, and voices across the city and region, and feed those insights into Future of Good’s editorial planning, newsletters, and events.
Your work ensures Calgary’s perspectives are represented in national conversations about philanthropy, mutual aid, community development, and social innovation.
Key Responsibilities
Monthly Regional Round‑Up: Produce a short written round‑up each month highlighting Calgary‑specific news, trends, developments, upcoming events, and notable people or organizations.
Ongoing Regional Tips: Submit leads and updates through our internal reporting form as you encounter them in your reporting or community networks.
Engagement with Local Academic and Research Centres: Identify and maintain relationships with Calgary‑based academic centres, research hubs, and institutes focused on philanthropy, social impact, community development, or related fields.
Content Production (up to twice per year): Contribute to Future of Good content — this may include writing a regional update, conducting an interview, participating in an event, or contributing to a feature.
Coverage of Key Sector Events (up to twice per year): Attend and cover major social‑impact or philanthropy‑related events in Calgary or southern Alberta. Travel and accommodation will be covered with prior approval.
Project Meetings Join twice‑yearly virtual meetings with other regional representatives to share insights, challenges, and best practices.
What You Bring
- Journalism experience — reporting, interviewing, research, or editorial work
- Strong knowledge of Calgary’s social‑purpose, non-profit, philanthropic, or community‑innovation landscape
- Deep local networks and an ability to surface underreported stories
- Clear, concise writing skills and strong editorial judgment
- Curiosity, compassion, and a commitment to community‑rooted storytelling
- Comfort working independently as a contractor
Accreditation and Recognition
Representatives will be featured on the Future of Good website, included in relevant newsletters and editorial products, and credited as contributors on articles produced through their connections.
Compensation
This contractor role is compensated at $1250 per month plus approved expenses.
Deadline: Aug. 19, 2026
