ABOUT US
MISSION
We mobilize the right people to design models of care that transform and strengthen the social safety net.
VISION
FCI envisions a world where communities are solving their most pressing issues through collaboration, innovation and evidence-based solutions.
STRATEGY
Our strategy involves convening a diverse network of stakeholders from tech, academia and nonprofit to address systemic problems within the safety net. We convene partners to define standards, identify and promulgate best practices and develop relational infrastructure. We create multi-sector coalitions to advance initiatives that dramatically increase quality and accessibility of services. And we scale successful programs through policy advocacy and government partnerships.
MESSAGE FROM THE ACTING EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, EMMA MAYERSON
“Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much.” - Helen Keller
Right now, our country is at a crossroads. Economic inequity, climate change, social polarization and a worsening mental health crisis threaten to erode our social safety net and worsen disparities. Now is the time, more than ever, to seek out new ideas and solutions and work together to bring these solutions to scale.
As the Acting Executive Director of Future Communities Institute (FCI), I am honored to lead this organization in forming powerful partnerships and driving innovative initiatives that create more equitable communities.
FCI is a pioneering organization dedicated to improving lives by mobilizing the collective power of communities to address complex social challenges in homelessness, the future of work, and health. We bring together diverse stakeholders from government, philanthropy, academia, industry, and finance to foster innovation and tackle systemic problems. Together, we can create a world where communities are solving their most pressing issues through innovation, collaboration, and evidence-based solutions.
