Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2025 Cohort
ABFE and CFLeads are joining forces to offer a free new cohort program in 2025 for community foundations to collaboratively engage with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and advance their racial equity agenda. Combining expertise and peer learning among and within participating organizations, the 2025 SDG Cohort will help community foundations mobilize stakeholders, advance their missions, and increase impact and accountability.
For community foundations, using the SDG framework helps create a platform for collective leadership and impact. Through this SDG Cohort, ABFE and CFLeads will combine their respective areas of expertise and longstanding relationships with funders across the country to offer a comprehensive program for community foundation staff, board members, and donors.
