Communities Foundation of Texas knows why people give. We understand the special feeling that comes from doing good things for your community. We have helped thousands of donors establish funds that have had a positive impact on current and future generations. For more than a half century, individuals, families, foundations, and corporations have been improving the quality of life of our city and beyond through funds managed by CFT.

By matching the desires and goals of each donor with community needs, Communities Foundation of Texas heightens the impact of philanthropy through efficient management and effective disposition of funds. Deciding how to use these funds can be a family affair. Parents and their children often decide together how they want their charitable gifts to be invested in the community. The result is a fund that can continue to fulfill the wishes of families for generation after generation.

This saves time and money for philanthropists, maximizes the tax benefits and ensures the greatest results from investments in deserving programs and projects.

Our purpose at Communities Foundation of Texas is to make charitable giving easy and effective. We want to be known among people who give and their advisors as an excellent manager of grantmaking programs through our knowledge of charitable needs and a demonstrated ability to invest funds wisely.
