Our giving model

GiVE 365 brings people together around a simple idea: when we give collectively, learn together, and stay engaged, our impact grows.

Members pool their resources, learn about community needs, and support Memphis nonprofits through timely, community-centered grantmaking—powered by shared purpose and connection.

How GiVE 365 works

Give collectively

Members pool contributions to create a shared fund that supports Memphis nonprofits and community-led solutions.

Learn together

We explore local issues, meet nonprofit leaders, and deepen understanding of the challenges and strengths shaping our community.
