GiVE 365’s biggest night

Join us for GiVE 365’s biggest night and help uplift the organizations working to create Nourished Communities across Memphis.

If you’ve joined us for past GiVE 365 Finals events, you know the inspiration they bring. This year, we’re reimagining the experience—an interactive evening designed for connection, discovery, and impact.

Mingle with fellow GiVErs and guests over bites and drinks as you explore activation stations hosted by this year’s grant finalists. From neighborhood gardens to food distribution programs, these organizations are advancing Nourished Communities—homegrown solutions that expand food access and strengthen connection across Memphis.

Engage directly with the people behind the ideas—then cast your vote to help award $60,000 in grant funding.
