Positioning Authentic Assets Guidelines

The Hyde Family Foundations work with innovative community partners to strengthen and showcase Memphis’ authentic assets in the areas of Arts and Culture, Civic Growth and Leadership, and Greening Initiatives.

Arts and Culture
We seek proposals designed to strengthen and promote the arts and cultural institutions that have shaped Memphis’ rich heritage and are critical to our future prosperity.

Civic Growth and Leadership
The Foundations support initiatives that develop, attract and retain the next generation of leaders, and we invest in efforts in position Memphis for the knowledge-based economy of the 21^st century.

Greening Initiatives
We make grants to projects that further the creation of the Memphis Greenprint, a network of parks, greenways and trails that touches every neighborhood. The Foundations invest in strategic greening initiatives focused on revitalizing distressed neighborhoods, connecting people from diverse communities, improving health and protecting the environment.
