Delta Institute works with communities throughout the Midwest to solve complex environmental challenges.

We envision a region in which all communities and landscapes thrive through an integrated approach to environmental, economic, and social challenges.

As a 501c3 nonprofit with a 2021 Platinum Seal of Transparency from GuideStar, Delta serves as a trusted advisor, technical provider, and project implementation expert for partners across the public, private, nonprofit, and community sectors. We rely on both philanthropic and earned revenue, specifically through grants, charitable contributions, and fee-for-service contracts.

Our work takes us to cities like Chicago, St. Louis, Gary, and Milwaukee; to communities such as Hobart and Michigan City, Indiana; to Great Lakes coastal towns like Sebewaing and Muskegon, Michigan; and to rural counties with thousands of acres of farmland and waterways.
