The Foundation for the Mid South is committed to improving lives in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi by enabling communities to develop solutions for better conditions. It aims to tackle the region’s poverty by increasing social and economic opportunities through a long-term, multi-sectoral approach focusing on education, health and wellness, wealth building, and community development.
The grant program by the Foundation for the Mid South supports high-quality solutions that enhance education, promote physical and mental health, ensure financial security, and foster the growth and prosperity of communities within the Mid South region. Their work includes improving academic success for all students and males of color, building financial competency and assets among residents, enhancing individual and community health outcomes, and empowering communities through economic and leadership development. The Foundation seeks to partner with organizations and initiatives that align with these priorities, inviting potential partners to share their ideas for opportunities to collaborate and make a lasting impact in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi.
