That’s the question we asked Memphis in November. Our answer was to compound interest in the arts — and indeed we have. Since that time, we have raised significant interest in and funds for ARTSmemphis.

For over 60 years, we have been working behind the scenes to grow the foundation of Memphis’ arts. The arts are essential in driving our economy, enhancing quality of life, improving youth development, providing healing and connection, bridging differences, and sparking innovation.

If we reach our goal, a major milestone in ARTSmemphis’ history will be accomplished: $100M in ARTSmemphis grant dollars distributed to local arts organizations and artists since our inception.

As of February, we are less than half a million dollars away from our goal of raising $2.6 million by July.

100% of your donation goes directly to our grantees. Help us reach our goal, and then let’s celebrate together as we continue to provide funding for our artists, arts programming, and arts experiences: Memphis’ sources of inspiration, innovation, and talent.
