More involved A/V may be provided with an extra fee and must be contracted in advance through the meeting and events team at CFT.

Flipchart easels are available for use at no additional charge. However, host organization must provide easel pads and markers.

Yes and no, some spaces at the Mabel Peters Caruth Center are made available at no cost for CFT grant recipients. Other spaces requiring set ups, larger spaces and more frequently used rooms have fees associated with them. All catering arrangements, A/V and other service or rental costs associated with the meeting are the responsibility of the host organization. Additionally, use of the facility outside of normal business hours is subject to an hourly overtime fee. Please reach out to our Events Team with any questions at events@cftexas.org.

The host organization is responsible for wiping down all tables used for their respective event in order to assist us in providing a clean and safe environment for our guests. We will provide Clorox Wipes for the organization’s use. If trash accumulates, it must be removed from the room and placed in the dumpster located off of the loading dock.

A designated representative from your organization must check in with our staff at the front desk upon arrival and also check out with our staff before leaving. Please allow sufficient time to walk the spaces with our staff before leaving the property. In the event of damage to the rooms or equipment, the host organization will be responsible for reimbursing us for the repair and/or cleaning required. We will provide notice of such issues within five (5) working days of the conclusion of the event. Companies contracted for any cleaning or repairs will be selected and managed by us and a bill will be sent directly to the organization following completion of services and should be paid promptly.
