Mission and programs · 2024
Mission
The mission of APF is to advance professional foresight by helping futurists promote their unique value, build their professional networks, and showcase their professional excellence.
Activities or mission (Part I)
Advocate the value of foresight and futures thinking to ignite positive global change, and enhance the skills, global standing, and impact of our members as professional futurists.
-
Conferences: We implemented a new regional structure so that regions may have their own meetups and conferences. Due to the restructuring, we did not have a conference in 2024, however we did hold a smaller meetup in Dallas, TX as a new hub event.
-
Magazine: We produced five issues of COMPASS magazine that highlights our members' work.
-
Emerging Fellows: This program has become a full fledged part of the APF after several years of rebuilding. It is a two-year fellowing ship in which promising early-career professionals receive specialized training and mentorship. Six early-career foresight practitioners from around the world were chosen in 2024 and six others are still active.
-
Awards: We restructured our awards so that instead of a variety of awards given throughout the year, they are all grouped together now and will resume in 2025. This will also help us to gain sponsors to offset costs of the awards.
As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
