We're looking forward to supporting next week's launch of Midtown Eats! Fueled by a grant from our #Memphis Empowerment Fund, this community-based project will increase local food access and help to promote our local food economy. #Empower #Advance

Our work to elevate neighborhoods and advance Memphis wouldn't be possible without the support of generous donors who believe in our mission to accelerate the revitalization of disinvested communities. Pledge to support Community LIFT for this year's #GivingTuesday!

Join us tomorrow at 10am at Beale St. Landing for the Artspace Builders Circle Panel Discussion! Moderated by LIFT President Eric Robertson, the panel will explore Memphis's creative renaissance through the lens of locals and newcomers. To RSVP, email [email protected].

Research findings presented in early August demonstrate that investment in grassroots leaders and projects is an important element of a broader approach to sustainable community revitalization and economic development.

Next Monday, join us for an afternoon of discussion around place-making as a key economic development strategy for Memphis! tickettailor.com/events/urba…
