Snapshot
Thirty years of evidence of Future Generations achievements are presented here. We are a global family of six country-based organizations, an accredited university, and an alumni network in 43 countries. Each of us is rooted in SEED-SCALE, a method for community development. From around the world, we generate just societies and lasting futures.

In planning your own future, you have an opportunity to support a just and equitable future for generations to come. One way to provide for Future Generations in your will is an outright bequest of cash, securities, real estate, or tangible personal property. You may give a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or a particular piece of real estate or other property.
