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.
