How To Get Involved
Music brings us together. It describes our joy and our sorrows. It instructs us, connects us, entertains us— it makes us better people. You can be a part of the collective experience Iris is bringing to Memphis.
Give Today
A gift to Iris Collective fuels programs that change lives. A child learns a new melody, a family finds comfort through a lullaby, a young artist takes a step toward a dream. When you give, you join us in creating beauty, resilience, and connection throughout our community.
Last year alone we were able to reach 4,000 residents, 1,000 patrons of partner organizations and more than 1,500 students. Join the movement today with your simple tax-deductible donation by calling (901) 746-9948, mailing your check to:

Become A Sponsor
We want you as part of our Collective. Corporations, foundations and even individuals receive value and recognition through our sponsorship opportunities. From underwriting a concert, to supporting a residency, to becoming a Pillar Partner, we have sponsorships opportunities at a variety of giving levels. For more information, click below or contact Rebecca Arendt at rarendt@iriscollective.org.
Special Ways to Give
A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) allows you to shift tax dollars to charitable dollars! If you hold an IRA and are at least 70-1/2, you can make distributions directly to Iris without increasing your taxable income. If you're 73 or order, these QCDs count toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMDs) as well, and no changes are needed to your will or trust. For more information, click the button below. To give through a QCD, consult your advisor today.
Host A Musician
As many as forty host families contribute to Iris in a special way by opening their homes to our musicians. With full schedules that include rehearsals, school and hospital visits, and performances, musicians can count on a warm and welcoming host who is eager to hear about their day. These families enjoy a unique opportunity to get to know gifted artists on a personal level. For more information, please contact Katie Hook at mkhook@iriscollective.org
Order A TN Arts License Plate
What better way to tell the world you support the arts than with a TN Arts Commission arts plate. Just take your old plate to your county clerk and swap it - they will prorate your tag fees, so you don't have to wait until your tag renewal is due.
