Priorities

The Foundation for the Mid South exists to improve lives by expanding knowledge.

The Foundation's work is focused on four regional priorities that together, we believe, build a solid foundation from which communities can grow and prosper. Through each priority, we support efforts that expand knowledge and improve lives in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi.

Communities

Building the skills and knowledge of communities to transform themselves.

Education

Improving high school graduation rates, college preparedness and life outcomes of students.

Health

Improve individual and community health outcomes in chronic disease, mental health, and access to care.

Wealth Building

Programs and information to enable residents to manage their finances effectively and grow their wealth.
