Mission

Common future is a network of pioneering leaders across the u.s. And canada who work deeply within their communities to create alternative approaches to business, philanthropy, and investing. We envision an economy that has transitioned from the extractive accumulation of wealth and centralization of power to one that redistributes wealth, democratizes power, and shifts economic control to marginalized communities.

Programs

2 programs

Leadership and field building by bringing together fellows, funders, and other key players in the economy, common future has built a unique network that is poised to learn together; forge new collaborations; provide real financial opportunities through grantmaking and capital products; and elevate this work to mainstream actors in philanthropy, investing, and policy to influence economic systems.

Expenses: $2.1M

Capital intermediation our work as an intermediary has three principal aims: redistribute capital to community leaders. Pilot new types of flexible financing that better serve their needs. Create a new asset class tailored to these communities that can scale and attract capital on its own.
