“Everything we do centers around helping people help others to achieve our vision of a thriving community for all. We’re here to grow giving and expand impact across North Texas,” explains White.
Having worked as a senior executive at the American Cancer Society in Chicago for the past five years, White is well-versed in the world of philanthropic initiatives. He believes that effective solutions to community issues are created through collaboration, dialogue and active involvement of stakeholders– a philosophy central to CFT’s mission. As the largest community foundation in Texas, the organization manages 1,300 charitable funds for individuals, families and businesses, totaling $1.5 billion in assets.
“I like to say that I got to Dallas as soon as I could, but in actuality, I got here as soon as I was invited,” explains White.
