The Guide maps out key markers and guideposts as you lay the foundation for your own Promise Neighborhood. The children in your community are counting on you to understand what’s working well, what’s not, and why. We hope that Planning a Promise Neighborhood will help guide you down your planning pathway.

To aid in your planning, the Guide leads you through these five key questions:

1. What do we know about the children and families we want to support, and how should we focus our efforts?
2. What activities and programs do we need to provide in order to deliver measurable results?
3. How should our partnership be structured and what capabilities will we need to succeed?
4. How do we plan for our funding so that we can get the resources we need to achieve our goals and sustain our efforts over the long-term?
5. How will we reach all of the children that our initiative aspires to impact?
