Aid within reach from Memphis Area Legal Services.
Community Partnership Fund
The Community Foundation of Greater Memphis is the largest grant-making organization in the Mid-South. The Community Partnership Fund offers the greatest opportunities to solve problems and contribute to building a stronger, safer and more enjoyable Memphis.
By connecting unrestricted gifts with pressing community needs, we can make a large impact on the communities we serve. The goal of the Fund is to be an active, responsive resource to address the current and future needs of our community.
Recent grants from this Fund have:
Helped recruit top-notch college graduates as Teach for America teachers in Memphis City Schools
Helped reduce foreclosures and provide affordable family housing in Frayser through the work of the Frayser Community Development Corporation
Helped Memphis Area Legal Services better serve the legal aid needs of low- and middle-income citizens in Shelby and Tipton counties through enhanced technology
Enhanced the future of professional theater in Memphis by funding the planning and design of Playhouse on the Square's new performing arts venue
Anyone can give to the Community Partnership Fund; there is no minimum gift. Volunteers and staff research and recommend grants. The Board of Governors, as representatives of the community, approve the grants that best serve our community’s needs.
Over the years, the Community Foundation has made a considerable impact in meeting the needs of our community and in building stronger nonprofit agencies.
In recent years, the Community Foundation has awarded more than $700,000 annually through the Community Partnership Fund.
Give to the Community Partnership Fund. We hope you will choose to support the work of the Community Partnership Fund by mailing a check, making a gift of stock or giving online.
Imagine what we could do with more.
Join our other Community Partners in making a gift that will reach many agencies and innovative programs.
