EFNT’s primary goal is to help companies create a culture of good corporate citizenship. We make it easy and cost efficient for companies who have great intentions to be involved in the community, but have limited time and cash. EFNT provides a virtual "staff" member who focuses on helping them to develop a strategic corporate community involvement program which ultimately has an impact on their employee recruitment, retention, morale and productivity, as well as on the communities in which they serve. Additionally, joining EFNT's network opens the door to the rapidly growing network of Entrepreneurs Foundations across the United States and in Israel that includes more than 300 companies and dozens of venture capital firms and professional service providers.
Other Membership Benefits include:
1) EFNT operates as a virtual Community Affairs department providing member companies with an "off-the-shelf" infrastructure for the company to develop a strategic corporate community involvement plan.
2) Membership provides access to the resources of EFNT's "Parent" organization, Communities Foundation of Texas (CFT) a well-respected 55 year-old public charity that will ensure prudent investment of the member company's charitable contributions.
3) When member companies leverage the resources of EFNT, it makes their company a better place to work by enhancing team-building, recruiting, retention, morale and employee satisfaction.
4) If desired, member companies can gain positive publicity regarding their community involvement.
5) One of EFNT's most highly regarded value propositions is the fact that we host exclusive networking events that bring together like-minded corporate citizens to either celebrate corporate philanthropy (Spirit of Entrepreneurship) or experience quality time with high-profile and successful business leaders in the North Texas region (Leaders & Legends series):
