THIS INCLUDES:- AN EDUCATION PIPELINE THAT PROVIDES HIGH-QUALITY EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES FROM BIRTH THROUGH GRADUATION, AND - WHOLE FAMILY SUPPORT TO STABILIZE HOUSING, SUPPORT CAREER AND FINANCE GROWTH, AND ADDRESS HEALTH AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH.BRINGING SUCCESS TO SCALE-NAZ FOCUSES ON INDIVIDUAL FAMILIES BUT AT A GREAT ENOUGH SCALE IN NORTH MINNEAPOLIS TO ACTUALLY IMPACT THE LANDSCAPE OF THE SCHOOLS, PARTNERS, AND NEIGHBORHOOD. 0 0 2573717 0 0 FAMILY ENGAGEMENT AND SUPPORT:ENROLLMENT NEARLY TRIPLED FROM 217 FAMILIES IN 2012 TO 739 FAMILIES WITH 1,739 CHILD "SCHOLARS" AT THE END OF 2014. NAZ ENGAGES PARENTS TO COORDINATE SUPPORT FOR THEIR CHILDREN AND TO INCREASE PARENTING SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE. FAMILIES MOVE THROUGH A "CRADLE TO CAREER" ECOSYSTEM THAT PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORT FROM PRE-NATAL THROUGH AGE 18, INCLUDING CUSTOMIZED PARENT EDUCATION CLASSES. NAZ CONNECTOR "FAMILY COACHES" ENROLL FAMILIES INTO NAZ AND REMAIN THEIR PARTNER UNTIL THEIR CHILDREN GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL. THESE TRAINED STAFF HIRED FROM THE NORTHSIDE WHO HAVE LIVED IN SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES AS OUR FAMILIES.ENGAGING FAMILIESNAZ SUPPORTS ONE FAMILY AT A TIME TO SUCCEED, WHICH LEADS TO TRANSFORMATIONAL OUTCOMES WITHIN OUR GEOGRAPHIC ZONE. NAZ IS REACHING FAMILIES WHOSE CHILDREN ARE NOT SUCCESSFUL IN SCHOOL OR PROJECTED TO GO TO COLLEGE, AND SUPPORTING THEM TO NOT JUST STABILIZE THEIR HOUSEHOLD, BUT TO BECOME LEADERS IN THE TRANSFORMATION OF NORTH MINNEAPOLIS AS A COLLEGE-GOING CULTURE. ZONE FAMILIES HAVE EXPERIENCED MULTIGENERATIONAL POVERTY AND AN EGREGIOUS ACHIEVEMENT GAP. THESE DISADVANTAGES HAVE RESULTED IN A "BELIEF GAP." THROUGH NAZ, PARENTS ARE BEGINNING TO BELIEVE THEIR CHILDREN ARE WORTHY OF A COLLEGE EDUCATION. WHEN THEY FIRST JOIN NAZ, PARENTS SIGN A "COLLEGE BOUND COMMITMENT" PLEDGE TO MAKE COLLEGE A TOP FAMILY PRIORITY. THROUGH THEIR INVOLVEMENT IN NAZ, PARENTS ARE SUPPORTED AT EVERY STEP TO BECOME HIGHLY INVOLVED WITH THE SUCCESS OF THEIR CHILDREN.NAZ CONNECTORS WORK ONE ON ONE WITH PARENTS TO INSTILL THE BELIEF THAT THEIR CHILDREN WILL GRADUATE FROM COLLEGE; TO HELP THEM SET FAMILY GOALS CALLED "ACHIEVEMENT PLANS;" AND TO CONNECT THEM WITH THE RIGHT PROGRAMS TO REACH THEIR GOALS. ACHIEVEMENT PLANS FOLLOW BEST-PRACTICE GOALS FOR FAMILY SUCCESS. 3334436 6000 0 EDUCATION SUPPORT:NAZ SIGNIFICANTLY SCALED UP OUR EDUCATION SUPPORTS IN 2014 IN SEVERAL WAYS, RESULTING IN PROMISING EARLY DATA THAT IMPROVED ACADEMIC OUTCOMES FOR CHILDREN. THROUGH NAZ, SCHOLARS ARE NO LONGER FEELING INCAPABLE AND UNSUPPORTED BECAUSE THEY ARE SURROUNDED BY A TEAM OF PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE IN THEM AND WORK TOGETHER TO SUPPORT THEIR SUCCESS.- LONGER ENROLLMENT IN NAZ IS ASSOCIATED WITH HIGHER ACADEMIC PROFICIENCY ON THE MINNESOTA COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT FOR CHILDREN IN GRADES 3-5 FOR THE 2013-2014 SCHOOL YEAR.PARENT EMPOWERMENT AND EDUCATION CLASSES IMPROVE KNOWLEDGE AND BEHAVIOR:NAZ BELIEVES THAT A COLLEGE EDUCATION IS THE PRIMARY PATHWAY TO REDUCE POVERTY IN NORTH MINNEAPOLIS. PARENTS ARE THE FIRST AND PRIMARY TEACHERS OF THEIR CHILDREN. NAZ FAMILY ACADEMY IS ONE IMPORTANT STEP IN NAZ'S PIPELINE OF SUPPORTS THAT PROVIDES PARENTS WITH THE KNOWLEDGE AND RESOURCES TO HELP THEIR YOUNG SCHOLARS SUCCEED. THESE CLASSES ARE AN IMPORTANT PART OF OUR LAYERED AND ALIGNED COLLABORATIVE STRATEGY. FAMILY ACADEMY CURRICULUM COMBINES EVIDENCE-BASED BEST PRACTICES WITH THE REAL LIFE EXPERIENCES OF NAZ FAMILIES. THE PARENTING STRATEGIES ARE PRESENTED IN WAYS THAT ARE RELEVANT TO LIVES OF NAZ FAMILIES AND THAT VALUE PARENTS' UNIQUE STRENGTHS. FAMILY ACADEMY CLASSES GIVE PARENTS THE TOOLS THEY NEED TO REACH THE GOALS LAID OUT IN THEIR ACHIEVEMENT PLANS. THE SKILLS THEY DEVELOP IN CLASS ARE REINFORCED THROUGH ONE-ON-ONE INTERACTIONS WITH THEIR NAZ CONNECTOR.DATA SHOWS THAT PARTICIPATION IN FAMILY ACADEMY SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTS PARENTING KNOWLEDGE AND BEHAVIORS. OUR DATA SHOWS THAT 77% OF ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS WERE PROFICIENT AT THE END OF SESSION BASED ON THE CONTENT TEST (PARENT ASSESSMENT SELF-REPORT), COMPARED TO 24% OF THE CONTROL GROUP. KINDERGARTEN READINESS IMPROVED:HISTORICALLY, ONLY ONE QUARTER OF CHILDREN LIVING IN OUR ZONE START KINDERGARTEN READY TO LEARN. THIS MARKS THE BEGINNING OF THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP. IN 2014, NAZ PROVIDED 109 RACE TO THE TOP SCHOLARSHIPS FOR SCHOLARS AGE 0-5 TO ATTEND THREE- AND FOUR-STAR RATED EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTERS.- NAZ-ENROLLED 0-5 YEAR OLDS ARE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE LIKELY TO PARTICIPATE IN EARLY LEARNING CENTERS THAN NON-ENROLLED FAMILIES (42% VS. 14%). - ACCORDING TO THE BEGINNING KINDERGARTEN ASSESSMENT (BKA) IMPLEMENTED FALL 2014, NAZ-ENROLLED KINDERGARTENERS PERFORMED SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER THAN ZONE-WIDE (49% NAZ-ENROLLED COMPARED TO 35% ZONE-WIDE). THIRD GRADE READING PROFICIENCY IMPROVED:THIRD GRADE READING PROFICIENCY IS A CRUCIAL BENCHMARK IN A CHILD'S EDUCATION. - NAZ-ENROLLED THIRD GRADERS PERFORMED TK THAN ZONE-WIDE (22% NAZ-ENROLLED COMPARED TO 18% ZONE-WIDE).- THE NAZ-ENROLLED READING PROFICIENCY RATE JUMPED 8 PERCENTAGE POINTS IN 2013-2014-FOUR TIMES THE GROWTH OF 3RD GRADERS ZONE-WID 1286882 0 0 WHOLE FAMILY SUPPORT:NAZ SUPPORTS THE SUCCESS OF THE WHOLE FAMILY BY SUPPORTING PARENTS TO STABILIZE THEIR HOUSEHOLDS WITH BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SUPPORT, SAFE AND STABLE HOUSING, AND TRAINING FOR BETTER CAREER PATHS. AS PARENTS SET GOALS IN EACH OF THESE AREAS, THEY ARE CONNECTED WITH THE RIGHT NAZ PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS TO REACH THEIR GOALS. THIS WHOLE-FAMILY SUPPORT HELPS TO STABILIZE FAMILIES SO THAT CHILDREN COME TO SCHOOL READY TO LEARN. NAZ-ENROLLED FAMILIES ARE ALREADY MAKING REMARKABLE STRIDES. OUR CHILDREN ARE NOT ONLY SHOWING IMPROVED ACADEMIC OUTCOMES AT KEY KINDERGARTEN AND THIRD GRADE BENCHMARKS, BUT FAMILIES ARE STABILIZING THEIR HOUSING, EMPLOYMENT AND HEALTH. AND THESE SUCCESSES ARE POISED TO MAKE A REMARKABLE ECONOMIC IMPACT IN OUR COMMUNITY.NAZ AND OUR PARTNERS ARE REENGINEERING THE NONPROFIT SECTOR TOWARD ACCOUNTABILITY. OUR COLLABORATION OF 39 ORGANIZATIONS AND SCHOOLS ARE COMMITTED TO THE SAME GOAL: COLLEGE READINESS. THESE PARTNERS SHARE STRATEGIES, SOLUTIONS, AND ACCOUNTABILITY TOWARD MEASURABLE RESULTS TO CREATE AN EFFECTIVE SYSTEM IN NORTH MINNEAPOLIS. NAZ'S SOLUTIONS ARE BUILT ON DECADES OF RESEARCH, BUT NAZ IS DIFFERENT THAN PREVIOUS EFFORTS. NEVER BEFORE HAVE THESE SOLUTIONS BEEN APPLIED SO COMPREHENSIVELY AND WITH THE ALIGNMENT OF CRITICAL PARTNERS IN A SINGLE GEOGRAPHIC ZONE. 7195035 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 45 0 1 85 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 20 20 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 MN X X DAVID DEVINE 6125948295 2123 W BROADWAY AVE SUITE 100 MINNEAPOLIS MN 55411 FRANK FORSBERG BOARD CHAIR 4.00 X X 0 0 0 BARBARA BUTTS WILLIAMS VICE CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 PETER KELLENBERGER TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 MICHAEL CIRESI DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KIM ELLISON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 RICHARD JOHNSON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KAREN KELLEY-ARIWOOLA DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANNE LONG DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ERIC MAHMOUD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANN MASTEN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN MAURIEL DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 CORA MCCORVEY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 PATTY MURPHY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KIM NELSON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 FATHER MICHAEL O'CONNELL DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ART ROLNICK DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 R T RYBAK DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KAREN GRABOW DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 BETSY HODGES DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID HOUGH DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SONDRA SAMUELS PRESIDENT & CEO 40.00 X 142803 0 24962 MICHELLE MARTIN CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER 40.00 X 131190 0 18095 DAVID DEVINE SR DIRECTOR OF FINANCE 40.00 X 98485 0 21355 372478 0 64412 2 0 1 0 PLYMOUTH CHRISTIAN YOUTH CENTER 2210 OLIVER AVENUE NORTH MINNEAPOLIS MN 55411 EXPANDED LEARNING PROGRAM 800324 KWANZAA COMMUNITY CHURCH 3700 BRYANT AVENUE NORTH MINNEAPOLIS MN 55412 EXPANDED LEARNING PROGRAM 271110 SUPPLY CORE 303 NORTH MAIN ST-STE 800 ROCKFORD IL 61101 TECH MGMT OF COLLABORATIVE DATABASE TOOL 246689 AMHERST WILDER FOUNDATION 451 LEXINGTON PKWY N ST PAUL MN 55104 EVALUATION OF ZONE LEVEL RESULTS 199410 EMERGE 1101 W BROADWAY AVE-STE 200 MINNEAPOLIS MN 55411 VIOLENCE PREVENTION,ACTION TEAM MGMT 158951 12 163443 7073332 2321532 9558307 1395 1395 50626 163443 68652 -18026 -18026 MISCELLANEOUS 900099 8266 8266 8266 9549942 8266 0 -16631 6000 6000 436890 174450 203723 58717 3072989 2442221 452865 177903 85200 65739 15797 3664 723730 558420 134188 31122 251029 193690 46544 10795 28453 28453 20000 20000 15193 15193 733940 683173 35964 14803 16326 1130 15196 46059 18024 22833 5202 423117 316173 82740 24204 71144 39689 19063 12392 26297 19651 5142 1504 17134 15948 840 346 PARTNER CONTRACTS 2041880 1900643 100054 41183 EVALUATION SERVICES 414925 386224 20332 8369 COLLABORATION LEADERSHI 185021 172223 9066 3732 PROGRAM EXPENSES 182417 182223 194 32699 19414 12315 970 8830443 7195035 1225309 410099 1237162 1834099 865064 1090483 84653 139717 132587 64745 94139 67842 3400 1540 2284418 3133681 600184 729948 600184 729948 X 534235 621546 1149999 1782187 1684234 2403733 2284418 3133681 719499 0 X X 0 0 0 X 1285867 1232121 3987262 8203625 9558307 24267182 1285867 1232121 3987262 8203625 9558307 24267182 178552 24088630 286 525 1395 2206 1850 2535 3746 401 8266 16798 24286186 148079 0.99190 0.95020 X SCHEDULE A, PART II, LINE 10, EXPLANATION OF OTHER INCOME: MISCELLANEOUS INCOME - 2010 AMOUNT: $ 1,850. 2011 AMOUNT: $ 2,535. 2012 AMOUNT: $ 3,746. 2013 AMOUNT: $ 401. 2014 AMOUNT: $ 8,266.
