ABOUT

OUR MISSION

CFC drives towards equitable systemic change in Southeastern North Carolina by collaborating with community partners to leverage local assets, illuminate actionable insights, and catalyze innovative programming.

We accomplish this work by applying data science techniques to gain insights, mobilizing private sector capital through impact investing programs, and supporting cross-sector collaboration.

VALUES

Equity Focused

We believe that we should do all things through an equity lens. We understand that centuries of oppressive systems have hurt many communities. Our whole society benefits from lifting up all people, especially those who have been most marginalized.

Data Driven

We believe that accurate and robust data infrastructure can be the great equalizer in the fight for a better tomorrow.

Human Centered

We believe that the community is the biggest driver and producer of positive outcomes and actionable insights. We follow their lead to drive change.
