Support Open Future Coalition

Open Future Coalition is fiscally sponsored by BFI, a 501(c)(3) tax exempt non-profit organization.

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 the tools of enterprise and making them accessible at the grassroots.

Since 2021, we have launched and grown the Open Impact platform alongside our growing global network, and it has now served efforts in over 60 countries: helping to solve complex coordinative challenges ranging from connecting smallholder farmers with one another and with shared resources; facilitating landscape scale ecological restoration efforts; and coordinating aid in times of displacement. We have convened and facilitated design sprints across the areas of Ecological Restoration, Food Systems, Community Wellness, and Built Environment, including "weaving functions" like funding, governance, media, and metrics. And now, we are moving towards direct investment in local resilience through Open Future Fund.

With your philanthropic support, we can:

• Continue to support grassroots efforts in solving complex coordinative, measurement, and reporting challenges through access to the Open Impact platform
• Document and templatize local success models through our Regional Resilience Fellowship, while providing peer learning and technical assistance
• Provide convening and strategic planning services in support of local resilience
• Develop shared resources and curricula to support our growing network of grassroots movement builders globally
