We want to make the systems that impact our daily lives work better by reducing wasted effort and helping organizations and institutions work together more smoothly.

To do this, the MFM governance model brings community residents, local governments, school districts, and nonprofit and business leaders into one decision-making space. Everyone has a voice, and everyone works from shared information, including new data and progress reports. 

This structure is designed to break down silos and connect efforts across sectors. It helps all partners agree on what needs to change, understand the barriers that keep families in poverty, and stay accountable for taking action that leads to better outcomes for kids and families.
