People

A board of trustees governs Community Foundation Network (CFN), drawn mainly from staff and trustees of individual member community foundations.

Management is through a number of committees of the board as well as advisory sub-committees and working groups. They are served by a dedicated group of staff, each with specialist knowledge of the community foundation movement, based at CFN's London office.
