Commission on the Future of Northeast Mississippi
Founded
and staffed by CREATE since 1995, regional leaders join forces to
enhance the quality of life in our region. While building relationships
and capacity in communities, attention is focused on regional issues
that need creative, collaborative solutions.
Community Affiliates
The
Community Affiliates engage local citizens to build endowments, which
are raised locally and allocated locally, to address issues of concern
to individual communities.
Endowments for non-profit organizations
CREATE
also manages various endowments, providing non-profit organizations
with a permanent pool of funds to support their directives. A generous
matching program, endowed by Mrs. McLean, allows CREATE to offer
challenge grants to boost the efforts of our Community and Organization
Affiliates.
Unity of Purpose
The
Foundation unites professional advisors and their clients with the
charitable needs of our region. Financial advisors provide information
about CREATE and how it serves charitable giving needs. Clients gain
maximum tax advantages while helping Northeast Mississippi communities. |
