Open Future Foundation

Solutions to the world’s greatest challenges are all around us. But the most promising local efforts are often disconnected from one another, and from the resources they need to reach their full potential. We build technical, social, and financial tools that support our ability to collectively innovate on, resource, and apply solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges—taking tools often reserved for enterprise and making them accessible at the grassroots.

To date, our tools and programs, like the Open Impact platform, have been deployed in over 70 countries: supporting coordination, program delivery, measurement, reporting, peer learning, and resourcing of efforts across the areas of ecological restoration, food systems, community wellness, and the built environment.

With your support, we can:

• Grow access to the Open Impact platform through additional training modules, localization and translation, and offline functionality
• Deliver and grow the reach of our Regional Resilience Fellowship Program, which supports the delivery and codevelopment of the Open Impact platform through individualized program plans and peer learning
• Curate and host cross-sectoral convenings, workshops, and design sprints that inform the resourcing and growth of common infrastructure, advance the sharing of knowledge and best practices, and nurture our collective fields
• Provide critical predevelopment support and shared services that help grow access to capital for regional funders and grassroots social enterprise
• Surface and advance the development of specialized tools to serve our global network—from regionalized governance and payments mechanisms, to specialized monitoring tools

Everything we do, we do in partnership. While our work is often supported through co-development and the mutual advancement of shared projects, we rely on philanthropic support to deliver our core services, maintain our shared tools and platforms, and ensure that our work is driven by the greatest needs and impacts surfaced in the communities we serve.
