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.
