About Us Urban Uplift is an organization that was designed to inspire, motivate, and educate individuals on urban community dynamics in the Chicagoland area. To answer the simple question: How can I help? How can I make a difference in my community? Urban Uplift board members, corporate officers, and volunteers alike have forged alliances with benchmark organizations in the fields of research, policy, finance, and even technology, in order to facilitate the desire for Chicago citizens to uplift the very city they reside in.So what exactly to we do? Urban Uplift conducts research and develops strategy. We seek for crafted solutions to problems that may pervasively plague urban areas in Illinois. We then look to our community to develop these ideas, help them grow, and reach their target audiences. We network through universities, foundations, agencies, and governments in order to successfully complete projects and establish results.
