The funds were used to build and maintain a new, centrally located headquarters for the foundation at 5500 Caruth Haven Lane. The facilities, known as the Mabel Peters Caruth Center, are located near the original Caruth family homestead, built in the 1850s on a farm that once encompassed thousands of acres of Dallas’ most valuable real estate.
Mabel Caruth’s gift has enabled us to become even more effective in service to the community and to its donors. The gift permits us to hold administrative costs to a minimum, which frees additional funds to go to worthy programs and projects.
As a CFT donor, Mabel Caruth wanted to define her personal legacy both in terms of the family’s generous past and her understanding of future community needs. Her way of giving has more than accomplished both goals.
