Northside Achievement Zone: A Results-Focused Collaborative To improve the egregious disparities that face our community, "doing good work" is no longer enough for our organizations.

The NAZ collaborative is at the forefront of a next-generation nonprofit movement that focuses on getting results. We are a 501(c)3 federal Promise Neighborhood that operates as both an organization and a collaborative of more than 40 service providers and schools, supported through a public-private partnership.

Through NAZ, North Minneapolis is experiencing a community-wide transformation toward a college-going culture. Together with parents, nonprofits, schools and other public institutions, we are leading innovative efforts to close the academic achievement gap for low-income children of color.

Each NAZ solution is designed to deliver measurable progress toward eradicating educational and social disparities-and to be easily replicated by communities across the nation.
