Do more good, together

GiVE 365 is a giving circle where everyday people become philanthropists for just a dollar a day. Members pool their contributions, select an annual theme, and decide together which nonprofit projects to fund—turning small gifts into big impact. Along the way, members connect with one another through events, site visits, and hands-on grantmaking, building both knowledge and community.

GiVE 365 offers a unique philanthropic experience: the chance to learn more about local challenges, discover inspiring organizations, and be part of a diverse network of Memphians committed to creating positive change. By joining, you don’t just give—you belong to a movement of neighbors investing in Memphis, one day at a time.

Not only do you get to see a broader set of organizations that are working in the community, but you can see how they’re trying to solve the same problem different ways. That's part of the draw—the more work you put in, the more understanding you get from GiVE 365. “
