Corporate partnerships

 

Corporate partnerships benefiting MIFA offer unique opportunities for businesses and organizations to help change lives and provide hope to our community. When you partner with MIFA, you can trust that your dollars make a difference—86% of every dollar goes directly to MIFA’s programs.


Corporations can support MIFA through various sponsorships and volunteer projects. Partnering with MIFA also aligns your business with one of the most effective and respected nonprofit agencies in Memphis and allows a chance for you to connect with our large, diverse audience of supporters, volunteers, and consumers. Your clients and employees alike will appreciate your support of MIFA.

Matching gifts

If your company has a matching gift program, you may double—or possibly triple—your gift to MIFA. Designating a matching gift to benefit MIFA is a great way to expand the impact of your gift.

Information on whether your company matches charitable donations is usually available through your personnel, benefits, or community relations department. Your matching gift coordinator can provide you with the necessary paperwork.

Thank you for increasing your gift to MIFA through your company’s matching gift program. We know that it takes extra effort on your part to help coordinate a matching gift.  We want you to know we appreciate your support, and that the matching gift helps MIFA make an even bigger difference in our community.

Sponsorship opportunities

MIFA’s sponsorship opportunities will provide excellent visibility for your company. We are also happy to discuss any ideas you may have for new sponsorships. For more information on the opportunities below, please contact Emily Sharpe at (901) 529-4560 or esharpe@mifa.org.

Feed the Soul

Since its premiere in 2008, Feed the Soul has become a perennial favorite of corporate sponsors, nonprofit supporters, and partygoers in Memphis. The event was created to pay tribute to MIFA’s four decades of service to our community, and it was such a hit, we’ve made it an annual event!

 

Christmas Day Meals

Each year, over 600 volunteers and employees of MIFA Meals on Wheels make sure that the seniors receive a special Christmas meal. Your partnership will allow us to serve more than 3,300 meals on Christmas Day. Our clients truly look forward to this special meal and visit each year. In past years, the media has covered this event.
