The Long Now Foundation is a nonprofit organization that aims to foster long-term thinking and imagination at the scale of civilization, spanning the next and last 10,000 years. Established in 01996, their mission focuses on being good ancestors and preserving possibilities for the future. The foundation is home to various projects that engage with deep questions about preservation and continuity on long timescales.

One of their notable projects is The Clock of the Long Now, a mechanical monument designed to keep accurate time for the next 10,000 years. The Clock, still being assembled in a mountain in Texas, offers a unique opportunity to think and engineer at the timescale of civilization and symbolizes our personal connection to the distant future. Additionally, the foundation hosts a diverse community and organizes monthly Talks to share long-term thinking with a global audience.
