Advance Memphis — Art for Jobs

2026 Sponsorship Opportunities

Thursday, September 24, 2026

Dear Friend of Advance Memphis,

I am excited to share that we'll host our 16th annual Art for Jobs on Thursday, September 24. Last year, 570 men and women filled our warehouse — almost 50% more than in 2024!

This year, the event will feature the work of Noelle Holler, Savannah Jewell White, and Kaylyn Webster, alongside many more of the region's premier artists. And we're aiming to raise $250,000 to grow our ministry.

Would you and your company consider partnering with us?

If you join us as a sponsor, you will receive the benefits listed below as our way of showing appreciation for your partnership. But more importantly, you will be fueling economic stability in South Memphis.

For 27 years, Advance Memphis has been equipping our neighbors to work, manage their money, and build economic stability, in the context of relationships and through the power of the Holy Spirit. This year, we're working on providing more support to our neighbors as they seek and retain permanent, living-wage jobs with benefits. But we can't continue to grow without committed partners, like you.

Thank you for considering serving our neighbors in this way!

Steve Nash

Executive Director, Advance Memphis
