About MPACF
In 2011, the Memphis Police Association founded the Memphis Police Association Charitable Foundation to serve Memphis and Shelby County and surrounding communities. The MPACF provides programs and initiatives in the Mid-South to support police officers and their families. In addition, it supports community partners with the goal of improving:
- Community Engagement
- Health Education
- Youth Education
With a focus on these three areas, the foundation has been able to garner support for members and their families, as well as organizations that promote positive outcomes for Memphis youth.
