The Opportunity
Thanks to local and national investments over the last five years, Seeding Success and a host of nonprofit and community partners authored a plan that proposes to address many of the daily challenges citizens face in our community. From housing to health to education, this plan spans six major focus areas that all cities need to thrive, addresses root causes, and proposes viable solutions.
With the plan published, work groups are preparing to begin a scaled implementation in North and South Memphis with the hopes of expanding progressively over the next five years. With the help of local and national philanthropy, nonprofit partners, community supporters, and the public sector, it’s finally time to make this plan a reality.
The Plan
More for Memphis partners developed a comprehensive plan to improve the lives of Shelby Countians meeting the following requirements:

Capacity-Building

Solutions in the plan will be translated into equity-based policies to secure resources for implementation for generations to come.
