History of CFT4B (formerly EFNT)

History of CFT4B (formerly EFNT)

EFNT expands into CFT for Business in 2017

CFT is incredibly proud of the programs and services that Entrepreneurs for North Texas, a program of Communities Foundation of Texas, provided over the last 17 years, which have helped make it easy for companies in our community to do good.

Since its inception, EFNT has touched more than 13,000 volunteers from more than 100 companies, who have collectively given 45,000 hours of volunteer service. The impact has been incredible! In November 2017, EFNT was sunset, and CFT officially launched CFT for Business.

Goals of CFT for Business:
  • Work with companies of all sizes to build a vibrant community of engaged business leaders and thriving businesses
  • Grow giving through charitable contributions and volunteer service to nonprofit organizations
  • Enhance employee engagement through valuable opportunities to network and support nonprofits making our community a better place to live, work and play
  • Help local companies achieve their charitable and business goals

The Fallen Family Fund at CFT supports Freedom Day

“It’s been the greatest gift,” said Nancy. “I feel like what granddad gave us was an opportunity – an opportunity to make a difference and to explore within ourselves something he had already figured out: lifting up the people around you is what matters most.
