EFNT Membership Provides Valuable Benefit, Perspective by Melissa Hawkins

CFT and our Board of Trustees choose to invest our resources and grant dollars in initiatives that strive to contribute in a measurable way to the greater good of the community. We use multiple approaches: traditional grant-making, where applications are received from nonprofits and funds are granted to support their work in the community; hands-on participative grant-making, which involves teaching and learning about an issue and collaborating with nonprofits to develop funding opportunities; and program implementation, through which the foundation creates, runs, and sometimes advocates for best practices in a given area. This report demonstrates our commitment to these efforts through a review of the progress we’re making toward creating lasting impact in each of the key areas in which we operate.
