Creating a more resilient home for all Midwesterners.
Delta Institute collaborates with communities to solve complex environmental challenges throughout the Midwest. We address Midwestern environmental, economic, and climate challenges today, so that our home and region are more resilient, equitable, and innovative tomorrow.
Our Impact
Through our work, Delta Institute benefits more than five million Midwesterners by transitioning one million acres to conservation- focused practices, and by improving water quality and reducing flooding by capturing 100 million stormwater gallons. By 2025 we will achieve these goals through our agriculture, climate, water, and community development projects.
This is what a more resilient, equitable, and innovative Midwest looks like.
