As we mentioned below, the Foundation for the Mid South launched its new “Do-Gooders” campaign at the Clinton School on Thursday, encouraging people in Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi to nominate individuals and nonprofits to receive up to $300,000 in grants.
“As we celebrate our 20th anniversary, we want to highlight the great work that is making a difference in our communities,” said Dr. Ivye L. Allen, President of Foundation for the Mid South. “Foundation for the Mid South Do-Gooders is our opportunity to recognize those whom are devoted to improving the lives of people in our region.”
Clinton School Dean Skip Rutherford, a member of the foundation’s board, spoke at the event and encouraged people to nominate those “unsung heroes” who are making a difference in their communities. The Foundation for the Mid South has been a close partner with the Clinton School Center on Community Philanthropy.
