Strengthening Chicago through local economic growth.

About Us

At InUrban Strategies, we specialize in empowering underserved communities on Chicago's South and West sides by partnering with high net worth individuals, foundations, nonprofits, and government entities. Our mission is to develop innovative strategies and invest in new business opportunities to drive economic growth and community development. With a focus on collaboration and impact, we partner with organizations to strengthen programming and curriculum, creating lasting change in the Chicagoland area.

Advancing Food Access and Wellness

Our commitment to addressing food insecurity and promoting community health is exemplified through our support of various initiatives, including community feeding events like those hosted by Good Food is Good Medicine. These events serve as vital platforms for fostering access to nutritious food and wellness education in underserved areas. By actively engaging in these efforts, we seek to enhance food security and promote healthy communities throughout the Chicago region.

Pathways to Economic Opportunity

We partner with philanthropic leaders to empower individuals through workforce development and create pathways to economic stability and upward mobility. Through JumpHire, we connect people to career opportunities that offer family-sustaining wages and benefits, giving those without college degrees the chance to succeed in meaningful careers. By leveraging strategic partnerships and programs like JumpHire, we work to address systemic poverty and inequality across Chicago.

Supporting Chicago’s Most Vulnerable

We are driven by the belief that every individual deserves access to essential resources, especially in underserved communities like West Haven Park on the West Side of Chicago. Through our efforts to deliver groceries to elderly residents, we aim to address food insecurity and ensure that no one is left behind. By providing vital support to those in need, we're actively contributing to the well-being and resilience of our community.

Our mission is to empower people who empower their communities. We provide innovative strategies for non-profit entrepreneurial programs and small businesses.
