Delta Institute exists because environmental and economic issues hit communities—both urban and rural—through disinvestment, inequity, and policy decisions. We collaborate to solve legacy environmental and economic issues at the community level by focusing on the self-defined goals our partners share with us. It’s quite likely that you—or someone you know—live, work, or pass through a community that Delta has helped since our founding in 1998.

Taking action now is not only a pressing climate change issue, but also an issue of equity and environmental justice. Join us today.
