The Sacramento Promise Zone strives to ensure that all residents in the Promise Zone, regardless of what zip code they live in, will be able to enjoy good health, improved educational opportunities, living wage jobs, economic opportunity, and sustainable communities.  

Partner-Led, Community Focused

​

As our Promise Zone designation came with no funding attached, funds are gained solely through the collaborative efforts of our partners; this partnership now includes more than 150 private, nonprofit, and public sector organizations. By collaborating, partners can increase capacity, decrease costs, enhance services, gain funds and change more lives. Promise Zone partners take up targeted roles to maximize impact on our 5 focus areas.
