CFNEIA develops deep connections with our communities to create impacts leading to transformational change. We partner with nonprofit organizations, local leaders, changemakers, and generous individuals across our 20-county region, to address the ongoing needs of our entire region. By inviting diverse voices and perspectives to the table, we build vibrant, inclusive communities. Together.

Strong nonprofits equal strong communities. We focus on six core grantmaking areas to guide grant decisions. This framework allows us to make impacts that meet the needs of our region and inspire generosity. 

CFNEIA leads programs connecting people to their community through education, collaboration, and grantmaking and partners with other organizations to develop community solutions and strengthen the nonprofit sector.

With over 325 people making local decisions for the communities they love, volunteers are at the heart of our impact. We are always looking for community-minded people to join our mission.
