Our Story
Futures For Kids was launched in February 2008 as a charitable foundation to raise funds on behalf of the listed and cleared derivatives industry to support the lives of disadvantaged children and young people around the world.
Since then we have seen, first hand, the difference the industry’s support has made to a range of charitable organisations around the world – from funding a new music facility in a training and education centre for children and young adults in East London to helping street kids to escape the slums of Nairobi in Kenya.

WE HOPE TO PROVIDE OPPORTUNITY.
Our aim is to provide a vehicle through which individuals and institutions in the futures industry can raise money for charities we have assessed against a list of criteria to ensure that they provide education, training, mentoring and the relief of hardship for disadvantaged children and young people. Our aim is the support charities that make a real difference in the communities they serve. This is achieved through long-term support for and strong relationships with core charities, as well as one-off donations for capital projects for other organisations and immediate appeal demands.
WE WANT TO CHANGE THE WORLD FOR THE BETTER.
FFK works with industry partners by raising funds through events such as quiz nights, walks, and dinners, as well as encouraging and supporting individuals who raise funds by undertaking their own challenges on behalf of FFK, such as marathons, bike rides and sponsored weight loss! We have also benefitted from a number of one-off donations from institutions.
