For Nonprofits: Advice, resources, and more

The mission of the Community Foundation is to strengthen our community through philanthropy. We consider the nonprofits and the wonderful people who keep them going as essential partners.

We’re a lot more than a place to apply for grants. We consult with and encourage nonprofits, offer consultation and advice, suggest collaborative approaches to an issue, convene and facilitate, and link to other funders, for example. (See Community Initiatives.)

We also provide endowment and reserve fund management to help ensure your long-term growth and sustainability.

So certainly review this section for grant deadlines, but don’t forget to consider all the ways you can work with the Community Foundation of Greater Memphis.

For more information, email Melissa Wolowicz, Vice President, Grants and Initiatives, or call her at (901) 722-0054.

Confidence & Trust

Any time you are entrusted with other people’s money you want to make sure you are entrusting that money to an organization you have confidence in.
