Named for the 45 RPM records that carried Memphis soul around the world, the 45s are a circle of bold believers—people who love our city, stand behind the legacy of Stax, and support its future. This is more than nostalgia. It’s a movement. Members of The 45s are changemakers, culture-shapers, and advocates for a deeper story—one rooted in soul, resilience, and possibility. The 45s raise the volume on hope, on action, and on love for all things Memphis.
Investment: Monthly gift of $84.00 (or $1,000 annual commitment)
This is more than a donor circle—it’s a movement. A way to keep Memphis music alive and thriving for generations to come.
