For the past decade, six cohorts of IFTF's Future for Good Fellows have worked with diverse communities to transform the future by bringing foresight, innovative approaches, and community-building skills to urgent challenges facing society today.

Those chosen to be Fellows are thoughtful, connected, and have demonstrated a commitment to reducing inequality and creating more sustainable futures. As Fellows, they immerse themselves in IFTF research and methodologies to future-proof their work, and IFTF supports them in engaging their networks to imagine local futures and commit to taking action to achieve their goals.

This year, seven new 2022 Fellows have joined IFTF’s Equitable Enterprise Initiative. They are already envisioning and prototyping new forms of equitable enterprise, as well as exploring forms of economic, financial, health, education, and civic ecosystems that distribute assets more equitably among citizens and communities.

 

Equitable Enterprise Initiative Overview

IFTF’s Equitable Enterprise Initiative (EEI) is an exploration of the question of how the next generation of workers will use different tools–policies, organizing, training–to create more equitable forms of enterprise, and a deep look at ways to redesign the social contract for healthier workers and more inclusive communities.

We are defining Equitable Enterprise as an ecosystem of business, financial, health, education, and community structures and strategies that equitably distribute assets among those who contribute value to the system. Such structures may include community trusts, new kinds of funds, cooperative platforms, new labor alliances, knowledge sharing networks, and community currencies, among many others. 

This initiative is an effort to reverse decades-long policies and practices based on the idea that the only social responsibility of business is to increase shareholder profits. Instead, the premise of the Equitable Enterprise Initiative is that the only social responsibility of business is to maximize community wellbeing and equitable distribution of economic returns from its activities

The Initiative will serve as a hub for research, scenario building, public engagement, and policy innovations aimed at promoting the establishment and growth of more equitable enterprises.
