Evansville Promise Neighborhood

Welcome to the Evansville Promise Neighborhood!

Evansville Promise Neighborhood (EPN) is a place-based initiative located in an area of Evansville with the most potential for positive transformation. EPN focuses on building strategic partnerships that unlock resources and empower residents to lead the change they envision for their community.

Funded by a $30 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education and inspired by the Harlem Children’s Zone, EPN is more than a funding initiative—it’s a collaborative approach to community transformation. Through the coordinated efforts of our community partner organizations, EPN brings together families, schools, and community groups to co-design solutions that help students thrive from cradle to career.
