NCF Memphis

A local community of faithful Christian givers

Our team has the privilege of walking alongside givers, helping them discern God's story for their generosity as they navigate the complicated landscape of giving. For 40+ years, givers at NCF have mobilized more than $25 billion for 90,000+ charities in their local communities and around the world.

The Story of NCF Memphis

Before NCF Memphis began, there was WiseHeart Foundation.

Founded in 2012, WiseHeart was established as a Christian community foundation with a bold vision: to build a movement of generous givers who would make Memphis and the Mid-South known for their generosity. Inspired by Psalm 90:12 — “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom” — WiseHeart focused on inspiring biblical generosity, providing creative giving solutions, and mobilizing resources through families, advisors, and ministries.

In 2018, a connection was made between WiseHeart and the National Christian Foundation (NCF), sparking a conversation about partnership. Over the next three years, WiseHeart received training and complex gift support from NCF, and both organizations saw the value in a closer relationship.

In April 2021, the WiseHeart board voted unanimously to take a significant next step: transitioning to become NCF Memphis. The official launch took place in April 2022.

Today, the mission and legacy of WiseHeart continue under the banner of NCF Memphis — still focused on generosity, still rooted in the Gospel, and still passionate about helping others give wisely and live generously.
