Host a Remaking Philanthropy Workshop TodayHow can you use foresight to gain insights that will enable you to make better, more impactful decisions today? Our Remaking Philanthropy Workshop will immerse your organization in the future and help you build new pathways toward greater resilience and innovation.
Our forecasting and facilitation can help your organization:
• Think broadly to gain an “outside-in” perspective on long-term forces and trends shaping the future
• Anticipate opportunities for new impact and service offerings
• Gain agile positioning by questioning your assumptions and systematically considering alternative futures
• Jump-start strategic thinking by immersing you in future possibilities and identifying flexible long-term actions
• Prototype new offerings that leverage your expertise while aligning with the future

We have a 45-year track record of pio-neering tools and methods for building foresight—indeed, we are the world’s first and oldest organization dedicated to bringing the skills and benefits of future forecasting to the public.

Futures Bootcamp
Think of this as a bootcamp for new ways to get things done in the next decade. Working in small groups and paired with experts, we will identify, experiment, and get our hands dirty with leading-edge tools for remaking social impact activity. Expect surprises and creative chaos in this immersive crash-course on the future of philanthropic experience.
Second-Curve Prototypes
Working with creative future templates, we will make our scenarios come to life, and create, together with your team, an IFTF specialty: provocative artifacts-from-the-future based in 2019. These Second-Curve artifacts from the future will inform your strategy and action steps you can take today, as well as in the near future.
envision. align. mobilize. The world is undergoing a massive transformation, with technologies enabling individuals and
groups to accomplish the kinds of things previously possible only through large organizations or
not at all. This transformation will disrupt many institutions, from governments to corporations to
non-profits—and organized philanthropy will not be immune. Existing philanthropic organizations
will face the challenge of envisioning a more open future, aligning their work with more impactful
innovations, and mobilizing society toward social good in the coming decade.
In order to develop this resilience, Institute for the Future (IFTF) has identified a set of future
forces—disruptions that will transform our daily lives—that are dramatically reshaping the world
of philanthropy. We know this research is revealing a whole new landscape of philanthropy that
we are calling “second curve of philanthropy”. This map and IFTF’s processes can help keep
your organization relevant and aligned with greater social impact in the new ecology of
philanthropy in the coming decade.
