IFTF Foresight Essentials
Apply for an IFTF Foresight Essentials Scholarship today
Institute for the Future (IFTF) is a 50+ year-old nonprofit research and education organization dedicated to
helping individuals, organizations, and communities think systematically about the future in order to make
better choices today. Because IFTF’s mission is to expand social impact through foresight—and because
we are committed to the creation of more diverse, inclusive, and intersectional narratives about the
future—we are offering a limited number of scholarships for participants to attend one of our
IFTF Foresight Essentials trainings at no cost.
At IFTF we believe...
- Futures thinking has the power to transform lives
- That in order to achieve more equitable futures, everyone should have access to participate
- The world of foresight is too often dominated by voices of privilege
- Real change depends on challenging the status quo and the dominant narratives today
- Everyone should have equal access to learning futures thinking skills regardless of economic status.
