Connecting Communities in the Americas (CCA) is an initiative of CFLeads whose purpose is to inspire and strengthen community foundations and their partners for local impact as they address issues that transcend borders. CFLeads has played a key role in both the conception and operation of the initiative during this time, while the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation has not only funded the intiative, but has been both a participant and critical connector.
This 10-Year Reflection has been designed with three purposes in mind:
- To give an overview of how CCA has developed over time so that we can decide how to move the initiative forward
- To present a framework for viewing and evaluating CCA as both a network and community-(ies) of practice
- To present the voices and perspectives of participants from across the Americas
We invite reflection on the value of and next steps for this collaborative initiative of community foundations and philanthropy support organizations across the Americas.
