Recently, we kicked off the Delta Story Project with our 2026 Cultural Ambassadors—an inspiring group committed to sharing the powerful stories, experiences, and perspectives of Jackson and the Mississippi Delta.

Through the Delta Story Project, the Foundation of the Mid South is exploring the diverse perspectives that reflect the richness and complexity of these communities. Over the next six months, each ambassador will develop a public-facing project designed to advance truth-telling, racial healing, and narrative change across Mississippi.

On National Day of Racial Healing, January 19, their work will be celebrated and spotlighted during a special showcase featuring stories from across the state.

Meet our 2026 Cultural Ambassadors and learn more about their projects: https://fndmidsouth.org/2026-delta-story-cohort-announcement/

Today is National Nonprofit Day. And we're taking a moment to recognize the extraordinary ecosystem of organizations working every day to improve lives, strengthen communities, and advance equity.

In Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi alone, thousands of nonprofits are doing the hard, unglamorous, essential work of showing up for people that systems have too often failed.

To every partner, grantee, and community organization in our region: thank you. The work you do is the reason this Foundation is still able to fulfill our mission.

What if making a difference didn’t start with how much one person could give—but with what we could do together?

That's exactly what Giving Circles are.

Giving Circles bring people together to pool their money, time, talents, and ideas around the causes and communities they care about. Members contribute what they can, then participate in deciding how those collective resources can make an impact.

At the Foundation for the Mid South, we’re helping people build and grow Giving Circles that make philanthropy more connected, participatory, and rooted in shared purpose.

You don’t have to be a major donor to be part of meaningful change. You just have to be willing to join the circle.

The Foundation for the Mid South believes every young person in the Mid South deserves access to a quality education, from pre-K through college. We invest in dropout prevention, college readiness, and early childhood programs that keep students engaged and on track.

As a new school year begins, we’re rooting for every student, educator, and family in the communities we serve.

Here’s to a great year.

It’s National Intern Day!

This summer, Adam Tolliver, Faysal Ahmed Imran, and Tianna Quiller brought their talents in communications, public health research, and education policy to the Foundation for the Mid South.

Preparing the next generation means giving emerging leaders the opportunity to contribute to meaningful work today.
