A-Team job description

A Chair nominated by CFGM staff and elected by a vote from the full membership will lead the A-Team. The Chair is responsible for facilitating A-Team meetings and ensuring that the
membership is accurately represented in all pertinent GiVE 365 discussions and activities.

The A-Team should be composed of a minimum of eight GiVE 365 members with no more than 15 members at any given time, including the Chair. All A-Team members should be current
GiVE 365 members.
The A-Team:

  • Provides strategic advice, from a member perspective, in relation to all major initiatives and programmatic changes.
  • Advises and advocates for member views so they are recognized and reflected in service delivery, planning, and policy development.
  • Identifies and advises the CFGM staff on priority areas and issues requiring member participation.
  • Participates in strategic discussions related to GiVE 365.
  • Assists in the identification of membership development and retention activities.
  • Reviews annual membership satisfaction survey and address any important issues.


Meeting Schedule
The A-Team will have an average of six meetings per year at the Community Foundation. Exact times and dates of these meetings will be determined by committee and staff consensus.

Terms
To ensure adequate continuity of leadership, the Chair will serve a two-year term. Advisory Team general members will serve one year terms, and may serve a maximum of three successive terms. After two years off of the team, members may serve again. A slate including the Chair and the general Advisory Team members will be presented to the full membership for election annually.

Help decide GiVE 365’s focus and leadership for the upcoming year by voting on your favorite grant theme and approving the Advisory Team slate. During the month of November, cast your vote by logging in to the GiVE 365 portal.

GiVE 365 members are given the opportunity to further engage in the grantmaking process by reviewing applications with a team and making thoughtful and objective recommendations for grant finalists. Grant review occurs throughout February and March each year. Specifically, team members are asked to:

  • Be current members of GiVE 365
  • Register by February 13, 2026, to attend one required orientation session offered on February 19 and February 24.
  • Attend a February orientation session and the Grant Finalist Selection meeting in March.
  • Read, sign, and adhere to conflict of interest and confidentiality documents.
  • Review all assigned grant proposals and score them objectively according to criteria given.

All members are invited to attend the Finals event in early April, where grant finalists selected by grant review teams will present their grant proposals. Come to the Finals to watch those 3-minute presentations in person or watch later on YouTube. Then submit your top grant choices through a voting link sent immediately after the Finals OR by logging into the GiVE 365 portal. 

Note: Participation is open only to current GiVE 365 members, and only one vote per membership is allowed. To vote, members may log in to the GiVE 365 portal or submit their votes via an emailed survey link in April.  If you are having issues logging in, email Aerial Ozuzu or call her at (901) 722-0022. 

The GiVE 365 membership is a group of Memphians who are united by the notion that together, we can do more to make our community better. We know that being a part of GiVE 365 is not the only way GiVErs are doing more for Memphis.
