ArtsMemphis is dedicated to sustaining Memphis’ world-renowned cultural vitality and strengthening local communities through the arts.
The broad goal of the FedEx Arts Program is to support the arts in Memphis by funding organizations that engage the Memphis community, demonstrate financial stability, sustain partnerships and collaboration, showcase prior year accomplishments, and offer benefits to FedEx such as volunteer opportunities and recognition. Specific causes supported include projects that align with FedEx’s charitable priorities. The evaluation criteria for the grants include community engagement, financial stability, sustainable partnerships, prior accomplishments, benefits to FedEx, and alignment with FedEx's charitable priorities. Grants typically range from $5,000 to $30,000, and applicants are encouraged to have other support for their proposed projects.
