**About working with Future of Good**

Future of Good is a new organization; however, we are striving to be a new type of organization. Benefits, wellness days and development opportunities are still rare in many social purpose organizations but we believe they are essential.

At Future of Good, wellness is central to our cultural DNA. All Future of Good staff have five weeks paid vacation, unlimited health days, Fridays off in the summer, and a comprehensive benefits package. Everybody talks about how good paid vacation is in Europe, so we looked it up and matched it.

We believe that continuous learning and unlearning helps us realize our collective potential. All Future of Good staff get paid time off as well as technology and professional development funds to fuel their creativity, learning and growth. Attend a course, upgrade your laptop, sign up for a conference or learn new software.

**Pay transparency matters.**
