Welcoming.
That is the word Advisory Team chair Anna Mullins chooses when asked to describe GiVE 365. It is that spirit of approachability that first attracted her to the membership in 2012. “The concept that philanthropy is for everybody really resonated with me as a young person who had spent a lot of time in my youth volunteering and feeling close to area nonprofits,” she says. “It occurred to me that I’d never really been asked for money, other than the radio voice on WKNO twice a year. I thought, ‘I’ve got a dollar to spend.’ I like the notion that everyone should be a philanthropist.”
Having moved to Memphis with her family while in high school, Anna attended college and graduate school here. She began her career a decade ago in niche publications at The Commercial Appeal, and has served in roles including editor of Skirt magazine and executive director of the Cotton Museum.
