The mission of the Community Foundation of Greater Memphis is to strengthen our community through philanthropy. This involves developing and managing charitable funds, addressing community needs, advocating for positive change, and encouraging philanthropy among individuals, families, businesses, and community institutions.
The GiVE 365 grant program focuses on empowering its members to annually support nonprofit projects or programs in the greater Memphis area that align with a specifically chosen theme. The 2025 theme is Grow and Lead: Initiatives that help children and youth build essential life skills, foster emotional intelligence, and explore cultural heritage for a brighter future. All 2025 funding proposals must follow this grant theme, regardless if an organization is seeking support for a specific project, program, or operating expenses.
