The CEOs of Indiana community foundations have a strong, collegial network. This network formed the Community Foundation State Committee (CFC) to promote, strengthen, and advance the work of Indiana community foundations and to serve as an advisory committee to the GIFT Technical Assistance Program.
Community foundation executive directors have organized themselves into regional groups. There are seven regions within the state and each region has a regional liaison that is a member of the CFC. These groups typically meet quarterly to discuss common topics of interest.
