At CFT, our vision is of thriving communities for all. We remain committed to the notion of building a community where everyone has equitable opportunities to thrive. COVID-19 has exacerbated challenging structural gaps that we all know have existed for decades. While we continue to work to meet growing needs in response to COVID-19, we cannot lose sight of the importance of celebrating diversity, championing equity and inclusion, and advocating tirelessly for equitable policies that serve and benefit all. We accept the challenge and responsibility to do more ourselves and demand more from others.
The word “philanthropy” means “love of mankind.” Let us all be philanthropists, opening our hearts wider to show our love for one another and our community. Let us commit to this, together, and to the actions that will turn our words into reality.
We stand with you, our partners, donors, and grantees working to build more equitable communities. Let us share our collective power, voice, and resources with all who need it. Together, let’s build something better, for all.
Standing side by side,
President and CEO, Communities Foundation of Texas
