Our mission is effective philanthropy.

The Assisi Foundation of Memphis, Inc. serves nonprofit organizations that work to improve Memphis and the Mid-South. Through our partnerships, we address pressing challenges while also searching for root causes with the goal of creating community-wide transformation.

Our focus areas include health and human services; education and literacy; social justice and ethics; and cultural enrichment and the arts. Whether or not an organization falls neatly within our focus areas, we invite the exploration of good ideas that align with our mission and improve the lives of every resident.
