Memphis has the opportunity to change the way the world approaches poverty fighting. But the state of the need in Memphis and around the world mandates we change the questions we ask and the processes we use. What if we applied investment principles to poverty fighting? We could create a solution the leverages meaningful data to point toward poverty-fighting practices that work. Then we can direct our scarce resources toward those solutions. This is exactly what Slingshot is doing in Memphis, and their model has been shared with nonprofit leaders on a global stage at the recent Paris Peace Forum.
