Strengthening Collin County through Leadership

April 27, 2021

Collin County Community Leadership Council

CFT recently created a Collin County Community Leadership Council, a group of community leaders who will learn about CFT's services and programs; bring community issues, needs and trends to CFT for discussion; and offer advice and counsel to CFT regarding its strategies for strengthening philanthropy in the region. Council members will not serve in a fiduciary capacity but will be asked to share their perspectives and knowledge of the community in order to help shape CFT's future work in Collin County.

Strategic Priorities of the Council:

Build the Collin County Impact Fund to support community grantmaking
Support community engagement with individuals, families, businesses and nonprofits through CFT's programs, services and convening capabilities
Elevate awareness and focus on community needs
Build the strength of nonprofits
Build a thriving community for all in Collin County

Throughout the year, North Texas companies connect with nonprofit partners through CFT for Business to uplift neighbors, drive positive change, and create a ripple effect of meaningful corporate responsibility outcomes for our community. National Volunteer Month provides a look into that community impact – a month-long celebration in April where CFT for Business’ network engages in volunteer service nearly every day.

CFT awards $470,000 across 24 local nonprofits

Grants will support North Texas nonprofits that focus on animal services and programming

Programs funded include those that recognize pets and animals enhance the health and quality of life of individuals, families, and communities, as well as those that improve pet ownership in under-resourced communities and manage populations of wild, stray, and feral animals.
