Northeast Mississippi Youth Foundation The Northeast Mississippi Youth Foundation (NEMYF), established by CREATE in 2001, is driven by its desire to make a difference in the lives of young people. Eleventh and twelfth graders from Northeast Mississippi are nominated and elected by the current NEMYF board. These students learn about philanthropy and making a difference in their communities while raising money for their endowment. At the annual April press conference, students present grant awards to non-profit agencies that primarily serve children and youth. The NEMYF endowment has exceeded the $140,000 mark with almost $50,000 in grants given back to Northeast Mississippi communities.
