The PEACE Foundation, now doing business as (DBA) Northside Achievement Zone, is a Minneapolis nonprofit whose mission since 2003 has been to create a movement to end local violence starting on the Northside. In 2009, it made the determination that supporting educational achievement on the Northside is the permanent pathway to ending local violence. To this end, the PEACE Foundation helped create and now exists solely to run the Northside Achievement Zone (NAZ).

NAZ is a collaborative initiative of over 60 Northside organizations and schools focused together on helping all kids achieve in a defined geographic Zone in North Minneapolis. It will do this by partnering with schools, organizations, and families to significantly improve education and guarantee opportunities and support for children from pre-birth to college.
