The Community Foundation places great value on community convening to be as strategic as possible when providing resources to Nantucket’s most pressing community needs. CFN meets monthly with leaders in the Behavioral Health sector to facilitate conversation and affect collaboration. In addition, our CFN Advisory Committee of community thought leaders including community members from health care, education, town government, Nantucket Public Schools, the Nantucket Police and Fire Departments, the media and others, meet throughout the year to identify and prioritize the Island’s most critical needs.
Members of the Advisory Committee are elected annually by the Board of Trustees. Members are updated on grant making and other activities of the Foundation so that they can help the general public develop an awareness of and involvement in the policies, purposes, objectives, and operations of the Foundation.
