N Street Strategies

Takes its name from an area in Washington (14th and N Streets, NW) that in the 1970s and 1980s was the epicenter of a new, passionate social movement.

A community of diverse individuals – religious leaders, activists, students and more – united for the common good, using their collective strength to address many of the city’s most pressing problems: poverty, homelessness, hunger and disease. With creative tactics and a profound sense of mission, these individuals worked tirelessly to serve others and to make their city a better place.

The legacy of this community inspires N Street Strategies today – enhancing the work of nonprofit organizations of all kinds. By drawing on a breadth of experience in program delivery and organizational management, N Street Strategies helps nonprofit organizations focus on what they do best, achieving their mission and outcomes, by providing systems and support for a sustainable impact.

We focus on the business,
you focus on the mission.
