Newsletter spotlights afterschool and summer learning programs
The latest issue of the Community Foundation's
Community Dividends newsletter takes a deeper dive into quality afterschool and summer learning in Memphis, with a cover article on the youth leadership development organization BRIDGES.
Community Foundation donors, GiVE 365 Memphis members, and guests gathered at Shelby Farms Park's new FedEx Event Center on September 13 to hear from nationally-renowned education expert Dr. Carol Johnson on the value of quality afterschool and summer learning programs.
The Community Foundation is happy to welcome two new staff members.

1. While a donor-advised fund cannot receive a qualified charitable distribution from your IRA, other funds at the Community Foundation are considered eligible to receive IRA charitable rollover funding. They include the Community Partnership Fund, nonprofit funds, designated funds, field of interest funds, and scholarship funds. Please
contact Rachel Cheek with questions or to learn more about which funds qualify.
2. This fall, the Community Foundation will implement new database technology that will allow us to serve you better. Starting in early November, you will begin to have electronic access to your fund through that new database sy
stem. Learn more.
Donors: we would like to hear from you! Do you have a story of impact to share? How has your philanthropy made a difference? Who is doing good work in our community? Let us know.
