Dear Foundation Friends:

Becky Jones West, Board Chair

Our vision for a greater Memphis commands that we accept challenges with courage, pursue bold initiatives and introduce innovative ideas. For the past 16 years, we’ve continued to focus on making an impact in our community. We know that we exist today because of a commitment from individual investors, corporations, foundations, service providers, strategic government partners and because of you.

We fully recognize that the Women’s Foundation’s bold stance to dismantle poverty demands measurable results that advance us toward a greater Memphis for generations to come. We are proud to have collectively raised $13.7 million. Since 1996, we have awarded $6 million to 362 programs and have raised $7.7 million for special initiatives, serving over 15,875 people each year. 

Together with our many partners, we are able to share our story. We connect others to our mission, and we empower the women of Memphis by forging a passageway for families to create a better life and set a new standard for the next generation, thus breaking the cycle of poverty.

On behalf of the Women’s Foundation Board of Directors, Trustees and Staff, we express our sincerest gratitude.
