Creating the Future

“In 2019, creating the future laid groundwork in critical mission areas. For a full description of these accomplishments (in a more readable form) head to - http://creatingthefuture.org/2019-accomplishments/ during our formative years, the founders have chosen to self fund the organization, receiving only small stipends for their more than full time work. This has allowed the organization to focus on program development and proof of concept vs spending all our time raising money. In future years, as the organization scales to accomplish its mission (and must seek funds to do so), full time salaries and additional staff will be added as funds are generated.”
