Imagining a Future Good: Trends, Action, and Joy with Trista Harris
In a new episode of Untapped Philanthropy, futurist Trista Harris joins hosts Kerrin Mitchell and Tim Sarrantonio to explore how the social sector can prepare for an increasingly uncertain future. Drawing on her work at Future Good, Trista reframes futurism as a practical discipline rooted in foresight, preparation, and choice.
The conversation examines how nonprofits and funders can move from reacting to disruption toward shaping long-term impact. From managing volatility and misinformation to engaging thoughtfully with emerging technologies like AI, Trista shares why values, governance, and human-centered leadership are essential in moments of rapid change.
Together, Kerrin, Tim, and Trista discuss the importance of scenario planning, long-term vision, and collective sensemaking, along with why hope and imagination remain strategic assets for the sector.
