SLINGSHOT MEMPHIS

Slingshot Memphis is a poverty-fighting center of influence that's igniting a movement to revolutionize the way we fight poverty... Slingshot has addressed this by developing a new, standardized methodology to measure poverty-fighting effectiveness. By providing previously unavailable insights about poverty-fighting outcomes, we empower decision makers to allocate financial and other resources toward solutions that produce effective outcomes for our neighbors experiencing poverty. We believe that as our community embraces this new methodology-or "Poverty-Fighting Feedback Loop"-we can measurably reduce poverty and accelerate access to equitable opportunities for all Memphians.
