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 and mobilizing private sector capital through impact investing programs.

VALUES

Equity Focused

We believe that we should do all things through an equity lens. Our whole society benefits from lifting all people, especially those who have been most marginalized.

Data Driven

We believe that an accurate and robust data infrastructure is 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.

Strategic Priority Areas

  • Collaborating with our community partners and leveraging innovative data science and analytics to generate clear, actionable, hyper-local insights aimed at exposing and programming against disparities.
  • Rallying impact investors around these causes and directing financial resources where they can generate the greatest social return on investment.
  • Creating a regional impact model that can be shared across North Carolina to foster opportunities for potential shared learning and collaboration.
