Join
the Village
The MAD Foundation's campaign to secure the first 1,000 members of the Fantastic 5000 — funding social, educational, and financial causes throughout the Memphis community.
1,000 people × $20/month = $20,000/month for Memphis. That's the first milestone. That's Join the Village.
Where the Money Goes
Causes Across
the Community
Every dollar collected through the Fantastic 5000 goes back into the Memphis community — addressing real needs across three pillars: social, educational, and financial.
From arts programs and youth development to workforce training, business support, and emergency family relief — the village decides where the need is greatest and directs resources there.
This is not charity. This is infrastructure. $20,000 a month, sustained, changes what is possible in this city.
Social causes — youth programs, arts, community events, and family support.
Educational causes — tutoring, scholarships, workforce training, and digital skills.
Financial causes — small business support, emergency relief, and economic development.
The Ask
$20 a Month.
For Memphis.
1,000 people in Memphis deciding that $20 a month is worth it — for the village, for the community, for this city.
When we hit 1,000 members, we generate $20,000 every single month — permanently directed toward social, educational, and financial causes throughout the Mid-South. That's the first milestone. That's what Join the Village is built to do.
