“Allowing people the space to tell their stories and providing opportunities for others to be touched by them is the first step toward healing,” says Sarah Cotton Nelson, CFT’s Chief Philanthropy Officer.
CFT board members approved this unique racial equity funding opportunity to complement the new Dallas Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation (D-TRHT) effort. Dallas is one of 14 places in the country receiving $1 million in grant support from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to implement D-TRHT, which will be customized for Dallas with input and leadership from the community. CFT is proud to be one of the many organizations contributing to TRHT in Dallas.
