Congratulations to the Community Foundation of Northwest Mississippi on the 20th

Anniversary of connecting people who care with causes that matter!

It was twenty years ago Robin Grindstaff Hurdle, with the Maddox Foundation, recommended forming a community foundation to support Northwest Mississippi.

Tom Pittman was hired as the first President, which set the Foundation on a course of success that has benefited our area of Mississippi.

Tom’s selection of Board members and staff has been one of the keys to the Foundation’s total assets reaching an all-time high of $38 million and grants totaling over $34 million.

Our volunteers and staff are focused on fulfilling our mission of connecting people who care with causes that matter over the next twenty years.

I appreciate our staff who have a combined 81 years’ of service to the Foundation and for their focus on the strategic plan goal of reaching $50 million in total assets.

Keith Fulcher President

The staff is honored to be part of the lives of our many donors who are supporting nonprofits and philanthropic opportunities that benefit our region, especially the children.

Thank you for celebrating two decades of the Community Foundation of Northwest Mississippi.

You have allowed us to accomplish great things in our region through your donations.

We will continue to fulfill philanthropic dreams and charitable causes into the next decade and hope you come along for the ride!

Place-Based Education & Civic Entrepreneurship

Provides support to nonprofit organizations in the 11-county region for the following focus areas:

Provides support as a teaching and learning process that uses local environment and community as the context for learning. Place-Based Learning focuses on utilizing local resources as teaching tools.

1. Health (examples: sustainable food systems like farmers’ markets, community gardens, mobile food markets, etc.)

2. Active Living (example: support for bike lanes, walking trails, parks, etc.)

3. Oral health for children 4. Education (examples: cultural and historical education (including support for museums); public libraries for educational exhibits (traveling or permanent); youth leadership programs; arts education; or after school mentoring / tutoring programs)

Students are involved in problem-solving and other meaningful tasks; they work autonomously to construct their own learning which culminates in realistic, student-generated products.

The place of learning is the local community and environment.

Students are engaged in learning that is connected to real work that meets a real community need and the work is student driven.

Designed to improve students, educators’, local citizens, and policy makers to be lifelong learners and agents of positive change, with local places – as well as the larger world – as their classroom.

Young people will be encouraged to think about issues of vocation and service, to encourage them to consider how they can best use their intellectual gifts and heritage to pursue careers in ways that will serve and enrich their communities.

Strengthening Charitable Giving in Mississippi ENDOW Mississippi is a state tax credit program to encourage individuals, businesses, and organizations to make lasting investments in their local communities through charitable giving. It was created in 2019 by the state Legislature to support gifts to permanent endowments only at qualified community foundations, like the Community Foundation of Northwest Mississippi!

How does it work?

The ENDOW Mississippi tax credit applies only to gifts made to permanent, endowed funds at qualified Mississippi community foundations. These gifts will generate many times the initial value of the gift and will always benefit Mississippi.

Minimum gift is $1,000 ($250 tax credit) Maximum gift is $200,000 ($50,000 tax credit) There are a LIMITED number of ENDOW Mississippi state tax credits to share for the entire state, so we encourage anyone who is interested to contact us promptly. Once available credits are claimed, we will reset the process on January 1, 2023.

Gifts can go to any endowment: an established endowment or a newly created one.

Maximum gift to the Community Foundation of Northwest Mississippi is $200,000 through September 30, 2023.

The allocation is limited per year on a first come-first service basis. Additional allocations may be available after October 1, 2023 but are not guaranteed.

An endowed fund is defined as one that benefits Mississippi charitable causes, is held at a qualified community foundation, and has an annual granting policy less than or equal to 5%.

Donors are eligible to receive a 25% state tax credit for donations to endowed funds at the Community Foundation of Northwest Mississippi.

New endowments started by donors who maximized their gift through Endow MS:

Andrew & Sandra Miller Scholarship Base Camp Coding Academy Charles & Cindy Gordon Family Endowment Deborah Hector George Endowment Denton Charitable Endowment Dudley & Claire Barnes Family Foundation Endowment Emerson Family Endowment Fulcher Family Endowment Healing Hearts Child Advocacy Center Marks Project Endowment

David Haire Memorial Scholarship My name is Caleb Strawn. I want to say how thankful I am to have been chosen to receive the David Haire Memorial Scholarship. I have always loved music and playing the trumpet, which is why my career path is to become a professor of trumpet studies on the university level. This scholarship will help assist me on that path. I am thankful also to have the chance to honor David's memory as I pursue my career in music.

Hello, my name is Jadyn Ware and I received the David Haire Memorial Scholarship. This scholarship is beneficial for me and my family because my parents have two kids in college so any funds I can receive help pay for my tuition. This scholarship specifically ties into the major I have chosen and it helps me not have to take out parent or student loans. I am extremely humbled and honored to have been awarded this generous donation and it will help me achieve my goals in my career.

My name is Elizabeth Wadsworth, and I received the 2022 Hernando Rotary John Leonard Vaiden Memorial Scholarship.

I plan on using this scholarship to help with the costs of attending college this fall. I am extremely grateful to have been chosen as a recipient of this scholarship, and I am excited to be able to put it to use! My late grandfather was a member of the Hernando Rotary club for a very long time, so it means a lot that I was able to honor him through getting this scholarship.

Wanda not only volunteered, but she also created endowments at the Community Foundation and supported numerous causes.

Her endowments and gifts supported such causes as the Mississippi Music Foundation; the Edward Pidgeon Skate Park Endowment; Desoto Arts Council; and the Veterans’ Parade.

Wanda would volunteer at the Foundation office even on days when she received her cancer treatments.

She was a remarkable person who we’re all blessed to have had her in our lives.
