Expanding access to opportunity
All Texans deserve the opportunity to engage in meaningful work and to acquire assets to support their families and thrive economically.
In 2012, we launched our focus on improving the economic security and mobility of low-income people and families who live and work in North Texas. For 10 years, we have created awareness and opportunities for families and individuals to increase their income and acquire assets to support their families and advance economically.
Take a look at how it all came together.
10 years of impact
Advancing Economic Opportunity in Dallas
In April 2018, we commissioned the “Dallas Economic Opportunity Assessment of Dallas County,” a comprehensive analysis of the region's economic opportunity for all.
Dollars for College
In 2019, we launched Dollars for College to ensure every student can achieve their dreams beyond high school, which is best realized through completing post-secondary education.
Working Families Success
The Working Families Success (WFS) model gives a framework to nonprofits providing services designed to make it easier for low-income families to obtain critical support.
CFT set out to improve the financial stability of low-income working families by bringing together social service agencies and training them to use data strategically.
