FutureGood: How to Use Futurism to Save the World
An increasing rate of change has made the challenging business of doing good even more difficult. Nonprofits, foundations, think tanks, and social entrepreneurs are all trying to make the world a better place, but they're using yesterday's information to do so. What if the social sector could predict the future and prepare for the trends and coming realities that will impact their work? They can, using the tools found in FutureGood . Drawing on the insights of visionary future thinkers like Majora Carter, Sir Richard Branson, Peter Diamandis, and the founders of Black Lives Matter, this book is an inspirational and radical how-to guide for the next generation of changemakers. Trista Harris takes her expertise as a cutting-edge philanthropic futurist to make the often confusing and complicated tools of futurism accessible to people who are committed to building a better future. This book will become a must-read for savvy social sector executives, thought leaders, journalists, and philanthropists.

About the author
Trista Harris
5 books21 followersTrista will MacGyver her way into the most unexpected situations to discover the signals of the future that will help you make the world a better place.
She once negotiated her way into an interview with Sir Richard Branson and was later invited to his home on Necker Island. During this adventure, she got her DNA sequenced, was mobbed by a conspiracy of lemurs, watched Richard kitesurfing in a tuxedo, and gave a speech on the future of doing good. She'd have thought it was a fever dream if she didn't have pictures.
Trista has worked in nonprofits since she was 13 years old. Her last job was the president of a community of grantmakers that gave away $1.5 billion a year. She is now the President of FutureGood, a consultancy focused on growing a movement of visionaries dedicated to building a better future.
To develop her futurism skills she learned about scenario planning at Oxford University, hung out with the technologists at Singularity U, went to Amy Webb's Future History Festival, and trained with the team at the Institute for the Future. She also has a Magic 8 ball on her desk.
