Communities Foundation of Texas traces its roots back to 1953. Since that year, more than $1 billion in grants have been made by the Dallas-based foundation. It has grown along with North Texas to become one of the largest community foundations in the nation.
People who make charitable gifts save time and effort by working with CFT. We help donors take advantage of optimal tax benefits. Most importantly, CFT can connect individual charitable goals with real community needs.
CFT is a hub for collaboration between donors, nonprofits and other funders to stimulate creative solutions to key community challenges. This is accomplished through a variety of donor-advised, designated and discretionary funds. CFT strives to thoughtfully and effectively support its diverse donors and grantees by:
-
providing exemplary service
-
demonstrating accountability, and
-
fulfilling its commitment to generate lasting impact in the community.
