Since opening its new home, CFMT has become a place where showing up with purpose proves that a new address makes more possible.
In 2023, CFMT opened the doors to its new home as a shared space for connection, conversation, and possibility. One year later, we welcomed 284 nonprofits and more than 15,400 people through those same doors. Some gathered for strategy sessions or team meetings. Others joined us for workshops, planning retreats, or impromptu check-ins. Each visit deepened our understanding of what it means to show up with purpose.
Again and again, nonprofit leaders have told us how meaningful it is to have a space that sees and supports them. In return, we’ve been shaped by the voices and vision of those working daily to strengthen our region.

As we look ahead, we remain committed to going beyond the check. That means showing up, learning together, and building the kind of trust that makes real progress possible.
