Community Support & Fundraising

Thanks to the vision of the RiverKings’ ownership by Maddox Foundation, an independent private foundation based in Hernando, Miss., and the team’s operation as a program-related investment of the foundation, the RiverKings boast a strong emphasis on supporting their local community.

The goal of the RiverKings Community Development Department is embodied in its MVP program: helping nonprofit organizations to raise Money, encourage Volunteerism and generate Publicity about their missions in the community.
