IFTF Ten-Year Forecast 2025-2035:
Charting Your Future for Social Good
Charting Your Future for Social Good at the IFTF Ten-Year Forecast 2025-2035
It can feel these days like we’ve stumbled into an "uncanny valley”, where our institutions, governments, and social fabric seem caught between an old world that is disappearing quickly around us, and a new world that is emerging chaotically…and that we don’t yet understand. We find ourselves in the messy transition between two eras, where our old assumptions no longer hold, but our new assumptions are still often reactive and fear-based.
That’s why BBB Wise Giving Alliance and our partners in social good are inviting you to the Institute for the Future’s Ten-Year Forecast 2025-2035 in New York City, on March 18, 2025.
Who is this Event For?
This event is designed for professionals in the charitable, nonprofit, and philanthropic sectors who are seeking to reimagine their mission-driven work in a rapidly changing world. Whether you’re a CEO, fundraiser, program director or board member at a nonprofit; a philanthropist or working at a foundation; a student planning your career; whether you're focused on advancing equity, adapting to technological change, reimagining fundraising strategies, or preparing your organization for the next generation of donors and supporters, this event will help you think critically about the challenges and plan for the opportunities that lie ahead.
What is a “Ten-Year Forecast”?
Designed by The Institute for the Future, the Ten-Year Forecast 2025-2035 is an immersive journey through the opportunities, challenges, and strange wonders of the coming decade. It is a permission space and pre-simulation of possible futures, designed to invite a diverse range of audiences and stakeholders to immerse deeply into research-based provocations and explorations of the ten-year future. This experience combines compelling research, interactive experiences, expert sessions with nonprofit and philanthropic leaders, and playful technology demos to invite participants to not just consume or interact with the material, but to participate strategically and emotionally in the implications and possibilities raised by the topics being explored, and their impact on our communities and charitable organizations in the coming years.
