Fighting Poverty. Accelerating Impact.
关于我们
Slingshot Memphis is a poverty-fighting center of influence that's igniting a movement to revolutionize the way we fight poverty. Unlike business, medicine, and many other sectors that have established, objective processes for measuring outcomes, the poverty-fighting ecosystem simply hasn't. This has made it nearly impossible to know which programs and services most effectively reduce social and economic gaps. 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. To turn our mission into reality, we work with poverty-fighting organizations to study their effectiveness, identify opportunities to enhance their outcomes, and invest directly to amplify high-impact programs and services.

We are so grateful to be partnering with MDRC on this transformational work! It’s inspiring to see how intentional research and analytics can empower a community to best address workforce opportunities.
Poverty is a significant problem in Memphis, where one in three people live near or below the poverty line. Memphis Works for Everyone (MemWorks) a partnership between MDRC and Slingshot Memphis, aims to strengthen pathways to living-wage work for Memphis workers. The research team seeks to determine what programs, policies, and interventions may be needed in the workforce development ecosystem to help more workers gain access to living-wage jobs and improve their economic mobility.
