Moving from Battlegrounds To Playgrounds

Working together, loving our city

The Memphis Leadership Foundation (MLF) works to equip and empower grassroots urban leaders to transform lives and communities in Memphis. We provide comprehensive back office support so that non-profit leaders can focus on the needs of our community. As an intermediary nonprofit, the mission of MLF is to create new initiatives, build leadership capacity, and work with people of faith and goodwill as we strive to replace battlegrounds with playgrounds.

"We believe that the church of Jesus Christ is called to empower the unemployed, the lost, the weary,
and the hurting."
