Ready to level up your love for memphis?
We talk a lot about loving Memphis.
And many of us have been choosing the 901 for years—
to live, to lead, to build something better.
But at this moment in our city’s story, we need more than affection.
We need action.
If you Choose901, now’s the time to Give901.
Why Give901 Exists
We launched Give901 in 2019 because we could see the tide turning.
People were beginning to see Memphis as a place full of potential—a place worth investing in.
But momentum needs structure.
We needed a sustainable way for people to invest in the next generation.
So we created Give901:
A campaign that fuels the teachers, schools, and mentors who are fighting every day for Memphis youth.
And we made it simple:
💸 Give an hour of pay + ⏱ Give an hour of time each month.
Because when we all give a little, Memphis gains a lot.
You Should Be a Give901 Member If:
✅ You believe every student in Memphis deserves access to a quality teacher.
✅ You want more Memphis college students to access scholarship dollars.
✅ You know graduates need mentorship, job connections, and real-life support.
✅ You love Memphis, and you’re ready to help it grow.
The Why: Giving Is Good—for You and Memphis
We give because it helps others. But here’s the truth—giving also transforms us.
📈 Studies show that giving back improves happiness, reduces stress, and creates deeper community connection.
🧠 A Harvard Business School study found that giving to others increases serotonin and dopamine levels, boosting our mood and mental well-being.
🫂 People who regularly volunteer report lower rates of depression and greater life satisfaction.
💼 According to Project ROI:
Workplace giving programs can boost productivity by 13%
Increase employee engagement by 7.5%
Decrease turnover by up to 50%
And increase revenue by up to 20%
Bottom line: Giving back helps people and businesses thrive.

We’re facing real challenges—underfunded schools, burnt-out educators, students who need more guidance than ever before.
If we don’t step up, no one will.
There is no cavalry coming. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.
This is the moment to lead.
To give.
To invest in the future of Memphis.
