About us
More For Memphis is a new collaboration of more than 300 organizations working to improve social and economic mobility in Memphis and Shelby County. Community members, nonprofits, businesses, and public organizations are working side by side to define the challenges of our social and economic systems and policies; and identify sustainable solutions that make a shared vision for a thriving community a reality. The goal is to improve the connection between the systems that support families, create paths to better opportunities, and allow residents to access resources efficiently. This effort began with an 18-month planning stage dedicated to listening to the community and working with partners to determine priorities and where resources should be targeted, including immediate pandemic relief. During the next phase of this work, groups of organizations will dive deeper into research, promising practices, and community engagement to develop investment strategies focused on community development, health & well-being, education & youth, justice & safety, economic development, and culture. It’s essential for families and residents to have a voice and meaningful representation in this process. More For Memphis is an opportunity to drive change by centering the people directly affected by the issues to create solutions. Together, we can shape the quality of life of Memphis and Shelby County and ensure it continues to be a thriving community for generations to come.

Happy #NationalNativeAmericanHeritageMonth! 🎉 Each year, November is dedicated to commemorating the diverse cultures, histories, and contributions of the Native peoples of the 600+ Indigenous nations in North America. Fun fact: The first "American Indian Day" was celebrated in May 1916 in New York when Red Fox James, a member of the Blackfeet Nation, rode on horseback to get endorsements for the holiday from 24 state governments! Memphis and the state of Tennessee are located in the historic homeland of the Chickasaw, Choctaw, and Quapaw nations. Through colonial violence and dispossession, these communities were forced off their homelands and into Oklahoma, where the current boundaries of each nation are drawn. Take time this month to learn about Native heritage in the resources listed below: Native RITES, a Memphis-based organization for Indigenous people in the Midsouth/Southeast: ntvrites.org Films, documentaries, and music from Chickasaw Nation: https://lnkd.in/gcfHnEY8 Learn about the culture of the Quapaw people: https://lnkd.in/gZW9Cem2 Learn about the culture of the Choctaw people: https://lnkd.in/gEqCPBwF [Photo courtesy of Lance Cheung: Chickasaw Nation Dancers from Oklahoma, perform Four Corners Dance during the Poarch Band of Creek Indians’ Southeastern Indian Festival on Thursday, April 3, 2014 near Atmore, Alabama.] #NativeHeritageMonth2024
