The Alliance builds capacity and fosters collaboration among and between Mississippi's nonprofit

10/29/2026

Sometimes capacity building starts with making the right connection.

When the LLH/LHM Foundation wanted to expand its grantmaking beyond New England, it needed a deeper understanding of Mississippi's nonprofit landscape. The Alliance helped bridge that gap, connecting the foundation with organizations whose work aligned with its goals.

That connection led the foundation to First Place for Youth, a newer organization in Mississippi supporting young people as they transition from foster care into independent adulthood.

The resulting grant helped First Place for Youth expand its impact by supporting youth advocates who help young people build essential life skills, while also bringing new philanthropic investment into Mississippi.

For the Alliance, this is capacity building in action: connecting knowledge, relationships, and resources so Mississippi nonprofits can be seen, supported, and positioned to grow.

The holidays are just around the corner, and for many nonprofits, that means an increase in volunteer needs.

Volunteer Mississippi uses the GivePulse platform to connect volunteers with opportunities across the state. If you’re looking for a way to volunteer this holiday season, you can explore available opportunities through GivePulse and find a way to get involved in your community.

Organizations can become a Volunteer Mississippi affiliate to have their volunteer events shared on the GivePulse calendar or submit an opportunity to be included.

Whether you need volunteers or want to lend a hand, now is a good time to make the connection.

There is always more to learn about the people, histories, and cultures that make up Mississippi.

The International Museum of Muslim Cultures, an Alliance member based in Jackson, is helping create space for that learning by sharing the history, art, and culture of Muslim communities in Mississippi and around the world.

Through exhibitions, programs, and educational experiences, the museum invites visitors to explore the diversity of Muslim cultures and the connections between different faiths, communities, and traditions.

We’re proud to highlight an Alliance member doing the important work of expanding understanding and creating opportunities for people to learn from one another.
