Connecting People Who Care With Causes That Matter

The mission of the Community Foundation of Northwest Mississippi is to impact communities in Northwest Mississippi by Connecting People Who Care With Causes That Matter. Our goal is to build permanent, charitable endowments to support nonprofits, churches, and schools.

The Community Foundation of Northwest Mississippi manages 314 donor-established funds and has disbursed over $48 million to support more than 1,000 charitable organizations and activities recommended by its donors, as well as charitable programs established by the foundation. Established in 2002 with a generous grant from the Maddox Foundation, the Community Foundation is an independent 501(c)3 charitable organization. This year, the Foundation reached $50 million in total assets! The Foundation serves Bolivar, Coahoma, DeSoto, Leflore, Marshall, Panola, Quitman, Sunflower, Tallahatchie, Tate, and Tunica counties. A board of 22 volunteer civic leaders governs the Community Foundation.
