This 1995 Business Week article describes the Progress and Freedom Foundation, which published a version of the Toffler book Creating a New Civilization, as a futuristic conservative think tank. Here are some other (2009-2011) think tank facts—including size and revenues:

Think Tanks

Organization	Politics	Staff	Revenues
Rand Corporation	Conservative	2051 employees	2009-2011: $261.9 m
American Enterprise Institute	Conservative	111 employees	2009-2011: $13.1 m
Brookings Institution	Moderate	545 employees	2009-2011: $67 m
Cato Institute	Libertarian	200 employees	2009-2011: $40.4 m

Heritage Foundation	Conservative	530 employees	2009-2011: $78.2 m
Progress & Freedom Foundation	Futuristic Conservative	no employees	2009-2011: $0 (closed)
Progressive Policy Institute	Centrists/New Democrat	5 employees	2009-2011: $0.16 m
Urban Institute	Moderate	404 employees	2009-2011: $64.3 m

The now-defunct Progress & Freedom Foundation rarely diverged from the Newt Gingrich party line. The best thing they’ve done in the past is to promote the Tofflers and their books. The best thing they’ve done in the present is to close down.

And Rand Corporation? When President Eisenhower famously warned against the military-industrial complex, he largely meant the Department of Defense–funded programs of the RAND Corporation. RAND helped get us into the debacles in both Vietnam (58,220 U.S. soldiers dead and 303,644 wounded) and Iraq (4,487 U.S. soldiers dead and 32,684 wounded). Their amorality is legend.
