About Us
We help the region by serving you
 |
| Bert Barnett and his cousin, Sylvia Goldsmith Marks, both have donor-advised funds at the Community Foundation and are contributors to the Community Partnership Fund. |
The Community Foundation of Greater Memphis is a place where generous people from diverse backgrounds come together to make our community a better place.
Collectively, they have created the largest philanthropic foundation - public or private - in the Memphis area. Together, we fulfill our mission of strengthening our community through philanthropy.
We do this by:
- Developing and managing charitable funds and endowments, offering the highest levels of service to donors;
- Actively addressing the needs of the community; and
- Encouraging philanthropy and the growth of charitable resources among individuals, families, businesses and community institutions.
If you have come to this site considering a charitable fund, note the wide choice of tools and services we offer to help you meet your charitable objectives and maximize your impact.
If you are here as a community leader or nonprofit, then we hope your work with us will help your organization address the needs of those you serve.
