The Future Society — Legal Structure: 501(c)(3) nonprofit (The Future Society Inc, EIN 81-3568099). Founded 2014 as student club at Harvard Kennedy School; incorporated as 501(c)(3) in 2016. Independent organization funded through philanthropic donations and service contracts with IGOs and governments.
The source confirms all major elements of the claim: (1) Legal structure is 501(c)(3) nonprofit ✓; (2) EIN is 81-3568099 ✓; (3) Founded in 2014 ✓; (4) Originally founded as student/incubator at Harvard Kennedy School ✓; (5) Later became independent nonprofit ✓. The source shows tax exemption received May 1, 2017, which aligns with incorporation in 2016 (tax exemption typically follows incorporation by several months). The source confirms funding through philanthropic donations (grants from Mozilla Foundation, Jain Family Institute, Patrick J. McGovern Foundation, Silicon Valley Community Foundation, Minderoo Foundation) and service contracts (work with governments of Ghana, Tunisia, Rwanda, and EU policymakers). The distinction between founding (2014) and incorporation (2016) is supported by the tax filing history showing Form 990EZ filings beginning in 2016.
