At the Women’s Foundation for a Greater Memphis (WFGM), grantmaking lies at the heart of our mission to invest in women, families, and our community.

Each year, we thoughtfully select grantee partners who serve historically underserved populations through programs aligned with our critical focus areas. We are pleased to share our 2025–2026 Grantees and Community Partners Booklet, highlighting the organizations we are supporting this year.

Over thirty years ago, WFGM awarded $60,000 in our inaugural grantmaking year. Today, thanks to the generosity, partnership, and shared commitment of our supporters, we are proud to distribute $1.9 million in grants to 36 local nonprofit partners working across our community. 

Our impact goes beyond grantmaking alone. Through philanthropy, leadership, and collaboration, WFGM advances the economic and social mobility of women and families.  

This year’s grant investments support life-changing programs in five key areas that directly strengthen families and expand opportunity: 

• Case Management and Wraparound Services 
• Job Skills, Employment, and Entrepreneurship 
• Early Childhood Development 
• Youth Development and Employment 
• Financial Education and Asset Building 

Together, these programs reflect a two-generation approach to reducing poverty—supporting women and children simultaneously to build stability, opportunity, and long-term economic mobility. 

We are deeply grateful to our grantee partners, whose dedication and expertise drive meaningful change every day, and to our donors and supporters whose belief in this work makes these investments possible. When you give to WFGM, you are investing in families, children, and the entire Memphis community.

Let’s continue building on more than three decades of impact. With your support, we can expand our grantmaking, strengthen our partnerships, and deepen our collective impact—together.
