The Delta Institute is a non-profit community and economic development organization headquartered in Chicago that is pioneering new, cooperative approaches to economic and environmental improvement. These initiatives seek to integrate environmentalism with community and economic development, working through the tensions sometimes found at the nexus of these two disciplines, and crafting new policies and practices to develop healthy, economically sound communities.

Great Lakes Environmental Planning specializes in environmental training covering such topics as sustainability, environmental assessment, historic preservation including 106 procedures and tax incentives, energy efficient rehab and construction, and Brownfield redevelopment.
