Community foundations play a critical role in building communities where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. This July, CFLeads, in partnership with North Texas Community Foundation, will convene leaders from across the country for the 2026 Economic Mobility Summit: Paving Pathways – a dynamic, day-and-a-half gathering focused on advancing lasting, place-based change.
Set in a city that reflects both deep history and strong community-driven initiatives, the Summit will bring together practitioners, funders, and thought-partners committed to strengthening economic mobility through collaboration, connection, and shared learning. Grounded in the theme Paving Pathways, the Summit highlights the unique role community foundations play as connectors – bridging residents, funders, and cross-sector partners to move from insight to action.
