At Communities Foundation of Texas what matters most to us is thriving communities for all. It drives our actions, influences our decision-making, informs our programming, inspires our grants, and more!
Since 2006, CFT has made more than 10,960 grants to 954 organizations in Collin County, totaling more than $110.8 million. Collin County, along with all of North Texas, has always been extremely generous.
Although CFT has served the North Texas region for nearly 70 years, a deep commitment was made to further focus and invest in the Collin County community in 2017.
Since that commitment, CFT has mobilized and distributed more than $100 million to Collin County nonprofits through the Collin County Impact Fund, North Texas Cares, and CFT's North Texas Giving Day! On North Texas Giving Day 2022, $7,476,001 was raised supporting 363 different nonprofits in Collin county. $2,563,927 of this nearly $7.5M came from donors with an address located in Collin County. Collin County residents donated $5,103,413 to organizations across North Texas.
In order to meet the current needs of the community and to maintain the long-term vitality of Collin County, CFT is looking for committed, community-minded, forward-thinking businesses and individuals to join us in building the Collin County Impact Fund.
The Collin County Impact Fund was established to provide support for nonprofit organizations addressing the most pressing needs and promising opportunities for the vulnerable citizens of Collin County.
To date the fund has supported the following Collin County organizations: Agape Resource and Assistance Center, CASA of Collin County, City House, Community Garden Kitchen, Delighted to Doula, Hendrick Scholarship Foundation, Hope Clinic of McKinney, Hope Restored Missions, La Tiendita, ManeGait Therapeutic Horsemanship, Philanthropy Kids, Storehouse of Collin County, The ArtCentre Theatre, The Samaritan Inn, and The Turning Point.
To improve the lives of all people in our community by investing in their health, wealth, living, and learning. We accomplish this by growing community giving, expanding community impact, and advancing community equity.
Communities Foundation of Texas is committed to advancing equity as one of our three strategic priorities to fulfill our mission and achieve our vision.
As your community foundation, our vision is of a community where every person has the opportunity to thrive. Our mission is to improve the lives of all people in our community, and we recognize that there are groups that have historically faced and continue to experience discrimination, injustice, and unequal access to basic resources, community spaces, and economic opportunities.
CFT believes that all community members:
- Should feel welcome, safe, and accepted;
- Should be treated with respect and dignity;
- Should have equitable access to opportunities to improve their lives and the lives of their families.
We are dedicated to both working internally with our staff and culture and learning and leading externally with partners across our community to create thriving communities for all.
