Hope Christian Community Foundation exists to serve Mid-South donors and ministries to facilitate the building of God's kingdom in our community and throughout the world. Our mission is to encourage philanthropy and increase giving. We seek transformation of the city through churches and ministries that combine Christian faith and Christian action.
Since 1998, Hope has helped hundreds of donors send $120+ million to 800+ ministries, churches and various charities. Over 80% of this was given to non-profits in Memphis and the Mid-South area. Over 75% of the recipients were faith-based non-profits who primarily serve educational or other needs of youth. Our purpose is to assist donors as they serve the Lord in their giving.

As a leading faith-based nonprofit organization in the City of Memphis, MLF is committed to the empowerment of grassroots faith-based and community organizations. Our CCF Capacity Building Project receives funding from the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families governed by the Office of Community Services. Serving as a bridge between the federal government and faith-based and community organizations, MLF will provide capacity building training and technical assistance through the CCF Capacity Building Project in the areas of:
The CCF Capacity Building Project reflects the administration's recognition that faith-based and community organizations are uniquely situated to partner with the government in serving under-resourced and low-income individuals and families, particularly those with the greatest needs. It is Memphis Leadership Foundation’s goal to empower non-profit organizations to increase their effectiveness, enhance their ability to provide holistic services in under-served communities, expand their organizational capacity, diversify their funding sources, and create collaborations to better serve those in need.
