Common Future is a small nonprofit based in Oakland, California, operating in the civic and social sector. It aims to make an equitable economy possible by investing in solutions that advance racial equity. The organization notes that generations of policy and economic systems have systematically excluded Black and Indigenous communities and other communities of color from wealth and power, and it seeks to restore community control to create a future in which everyone can thrive. Common Future collaborates with other organizations and philanthropic leaders to move investment toward participatory, community-led wealth-building. In 2023 it launched Capital Strategies, now referred to as Impact Investments, as part of its effort to shift investment practices.
