A message from Sara Morley LaCroix, CMF Trustee, Chair of CMF’s Membership Committee and Trustee of the Morley Family Foundation

Dear CMF Community Members,

As the Chair of CMF’s Membership Committee, I am thrilled to invite you to explore CMF’s new website which illustrates how our CMF community is putting equity at the center of their work, engaging in policy and advocacy efforts in support of the communities we serve, supporting our nonprofit partners and beyond. The new site is designed to seamlessly connect you with your peers, the latest news, research, briefings and networking opportunities to effectively support you in your own learning journey. 

I encourage you to visit today and make the “My Account” page (in the top right corner of the website) your first stop. Here, you can optimize your web experience by updating and customizing your profile, which serves as your personal hub for your CMF engagements, including event registrations and your affinity groups and learning community connections. The new site also allows you to bookmark resources to your profile from the Knowledge Center so you can easily re-access those great resources at any time.

The new site provides an enhanced experience along with new features and content, including: 

EQUITY   

• Curated Equity Resources is an evolving hub of materials to support all CMF members in advancing our own equity journeys. I encourage you to explore this section and share suggestions to help grow this collection now and in the future. 

• CMF Community Stories illustrate how foundations of all types and sizes are advancing their own organizational equity journeys. 

POLICY 

• You can subscribe today to join the new Policy Online Community. The CMF team will share regular timely policy updates and action items through this platform, and you’re encouraged to share your own updates and engage in peer-to-peer conversations as well. 

• Statewide Equity Fund Resource Hub is a new curated collection of resources that highlights data, tools and resources related to shaping public dollars. 

PEOPLE 

• The revamped Career Center provides opportunities for all CMF members to share job postings and browse new opportunities from around the state and sector. 

• Our CMF community can easily access Learning to Give as a hub for youth-centered resources via the Youth Philanthropy page. 

PRACTICE 

• The Knowledge Center easily connects you with resources related to Equity, People, Practice and Policy. In addition, CMF members can now access On-Demand Recordings from select virtual events free of charge. 

• The Events Calendar that features learning opportunities directly connected to CMF’s pillars of Equity, People, Practice and Policy, has been significantly enhanced, making it easier than ever to plan your learning journey with CMF.
