At Delta Institute, we are committed to solving complex environmental challenges across the Midwest. Through a mix of programs and projects that support nature-based climate solutions, resilient agriculture, clean water, and other community-focused sustainability initiatives, we envision a future where our home and region are more resilient and equitable for all Midwesterners.

For a nonprofit our size, we at Delta Institute are working toward some big goals …

• We are committed to helping dozens of Midwestern communities improve their access to safe drinking water.
• We build community forestry capacity at the local level and plant thousands of trees in the process.
• We restore dozens of acres of brownfields into greenspace in a way that fulfills community vision.
• We are creating new pathways to align sustainable agriculture practices with innovative financing models.

Big goals like these are only achieved with a robust coalition of funders, volunteers, and hundreds of supporters. If you share in our vision that we can create a more resilient home for all Midwesterners, please donate to invest in our work for 2027. 

We are committed to our community partners and the neighborhoods we’re actively working in. Please join us in this shared effort today by making a donation so that 2027 carries us all forward into the brighter future that we all deserve.

Our work is fueled by hundreds of donors every year: people who care deeply about the future of our planet, our Midwest region, and our own home communities. Please join us in making our vision just one step closer toward becoming a reality.
