A great city is in a constant state of becoming.

In becoming the best that it can be, we believe a city identifies its distinctive strengths, creates a civic culture that is entrepreneurial and results-oriented, produces systemic change, and enriches the lives of its people.

The Hyde Family Foundations exist to inspire this kind of progress and success.

We are passionate about our city. That's why we champion bold programs characterized by their imagination and their results, and why we enlist and support leaders who can make a difference.

In our work, we concentrate on K-12 education reform, positioning Memphis as a vibrant, progressive city, and healthy neighborhoods for our community.
