What

Who
“Difference-makers” who:

- Want to see progress
- Have courage to lean in and engage
Our organization can seem complex because of the many facets of our work.
But ultimately, everything we do falls into two categories: Donor-driven funds and services, and initiatives powered by CFT.
Our goal is to build thriving communities for all by partnering with difference-makers like you.
We have been a partner with local individuals, families and businesses for raising the quality of life in our communities since 1953.
- We provide effective ways to make meaningful charitable contributions while realizing significant tax advantages.
- We listen to your priorities, advise on strategic giving, handle the investment of the gift and manage your charitable grants to worthwhile causes.
- We offer services to empower your giving such as North Texas Giving Day and CFT for Business as well as ongoing education events for philanthropists and their professional advisors.
- We also lead several initiatives including Educate Texas and Working Family Success Network, as well as strategic community impact and W.W. Caruth, Jr. Fund grantmaking.
