learn about our initiatives

CFI serves as the inclusive organizational parent to an ever-expanding array of non-competitive and non-proprietary creative programs. Some CFI initiatives sustain the organization through revenue-generating activity while others deliver no-cost creative services directly to recipients. Whether revenue-generating or not, all CFI initiatives are fundamentally service-based in nature, and all are continually refocused and repositioned in global support of CFI’s transparent mission and vision.

CFI Revenue-Generating Initiatives

All services associated with CFI’s revenue-generating initiatives are intentionally non-competitive, non-proprietary and as close to at-cost as possible. CFI operates these programs in keeping with a virtual business model that creatively minimizes operational overhead while maximizing the scope and quality of all pertinent service deliverables. CFI’s revenue-generating initiatives include:

Freelance Dayton: a service-based, non-profit business cooperative that globally supports the communication arts industry. This initiative is grounded in the city of Dayton, Ohio and provides a wide range professional creative services to small businesses, non-profits and other communication arts practitioners. Read more
ThinkCoin: is a service-based, non-profit numismatic service that offers the most powerful suite of integrated coin collection services ever available online.

CFI Non-Revenue-Generating Initiatives

Like CFI’s revenue-generating initiatives all services are as close to no-cost as well. CFI operates its non-revenue-generating programs in support of individuals and service-based non-profit organizations worldwide. CFI’s non-revenue-generating initiatives include:
