Getting It Done Locally with CFLeads

What role can community foundations play in solving the challenges facing their communities – beyond important contributions of grant funding? In a new episode of our podcast, Forever Forward, President Isaiah M. Oliver sits down with Mary Thomas, President and CEO of CFLeads, and Rose Bradshaw, President and CEO of the North Texas Community Foundation, to talk about the role of community foundations in community leadership. For the last two years, Isaiah has served as the chair of the board of CFLeads, which represents the country’s national network of community foundations committed to community leadership. The Community Foundation for Northeast Florida recently hosted a meeting of the board here in Jacksonville. “I believe in community foundations – it’s in my DNA,” Mary said. “Once folks hear about the value proposition of community foundations being trusted partners in their own communities, the magic will happen.”
