Backed by $8.5 million in national and local investments, More for Memphis, formerly known as Place Matters: Memphis, is a collaboration of more than 300 community partners working to improve social and economic mobility in Memphis and Shelby County.

The coalition is comprised of community members, nonprofits, businesses, and public organizations all working together to define the challenges and provide solutions for the social and economic systems and policies in Memphis. 

According to Seeding Success CEO Mark Sturgis, “We are working with a group of partners to create a governance model involving children and families in the decision-making process with local government and school districts so that everyone is on a shared agenda and living experience weighs in.”
