The Foundation for the Mid South was created to improve the lives of
those living in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. The Foundation
does this by using private philanthropic resources to fund, develop,
and promote initiatives in the areas of education, economic development, and families and children. Since its establishment
in 1989, the Foundation has awarded nearly $11 million in grants to community organizations and leaders throughout the three states with
its total impact estimated at $150 million in new resources for the region.

NOTE: For those applying to the Foundation for the Mid South—regardless of the state where your organization is established or operates—MUST register and receive a certificate that designates it as a public charity or exempt for the state of Mississippi before applying. The application, Form URS, to apply to the Mississippi Secretary of State is available at www.sos.state.ms.us/forms/forms.asp?Unit=Charities

The Foundation will issue a request for proposals (RFP) when funding
will be made available through one our initiatives. The RFP will consist of two documents: (1) Grants Cover Sheet, and (2) Grant Guidelines specific to the funding.
