About FutureGood

FutureGood is a consultancy that helps foundations, nonprofits, and visionary leaders predict and shape the future. Using futurism tools and best practices from the field, we partner with clients to envision their ideal future, create a path to get there, and solve problems yet to be imagined.

Our business was founded by Trista Harris, a world-renowned philanthropic futurist who is passionate about empowering organizations by providing the tools, framework, and guidance necessary to create their ideal future. Trista has worked with nonprofit organizations since she was 15 years old and deeply understands the constraints and infinite possibilities of social sector organizations.

FutureGood is a Black-owned and woman-owned small business, and our staff is majority women of color. In our ideal future, a person’s ability to thrive would not be determined by race, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, religion, physical ability, or class. We use the 4 Roles Framework to ensure that all aspects of our work are aligned toward equity and justice.

Our Approach

Future thinking skills need to be the number one strategic priority for everyone trying to make positive change. If you don’t take future thinking seriously, your organization won’t exist in the near-term future. Foundations with endowments will exist but won’t stay relevant to the causes and communities they care about without future-focused thinking.

FutureGood helps you make the future clear. Then we help you understand how to build strategies and a vibrant organizational culture that will make your ideal future a reality. Through this work, you create a more beautiful and equitable future for all.
