About PPNA
Mission
The Powderhorn Park Neighborhood Association (PPNA) works to enhance the quality of life in the Powderhorn Park neighborhood by facilitating community engagement, embracing a diversity of voices, and fostering economic and community development.
Overview of Our Organization
PPNA, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, was formed in 1982 to strengthen this inner-city, south Minneapolis neighborhood – bounded by Lake Street, Cedar Avenue, 38th Street and Chicago Avenue – by building connections among the neighborhood’s members (residents, property owners, employees and businesses) and working to support their collective efforts to address community concerns.
PPNA is led by a 12 person Board of Directors comprised of community members. We are a neighborhood-driven organization and thrive with a diverse group of volunteers and active committee participants
