The purpose of this Impact section is to document and share the knowledge, results and stories gained through our partnerships and grantmaking. It is our intent that the collection of publications, research, and multimedia communications provides insight into each of our priorities—how they interconnect and work together to positively impact the quality of life in the region.
Our Approach to Achieving Impact

Improving Lives. Getting Results.
Since 1990, the Foundation for the Mid South has been a catalyst for change in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi, addressing complex and entrenched social and economic problems. In that time, we have been instrumental in attracting and leveraging over $750 million to expand knowledge and improve lives in the region.
We have provided grants, technical assistance and professional development; incubated new ideas and leadership; and funded research and sought innovation to help advance our region and increase social and economic opportunity for all people.
