“Our local communities continue to shape our future. CFT has recently awarded $2 million to strengthen civic engagement across the region through grants to nonprofit organizations, community initiatives, and local media organizations. CFT’s investment is designed to help strengthen the local information ecosystem so residents can have greater access to reporting, better understand local systems, and engage more fully in their communities. By investing in local news providers, we are investing in a stronger, more connected North Texas.” CFT’s latest local news investments were further complemented by support from CFT fundholders, reflecting broader philanthropic interest in strengthening North Texas’ local information ecosystem.
