Mission and programs · 2024

• SINCE 1934, MPC HAS SHAPED A MORE EQUITABLE, SUSTAINABLE AND PROSPEROUS CHICAGOLAND. AN INDEPENDENT, NONPROFIT, NONPARTISAN ORGANIZATION, MPC SERVES COMMUNITIES AND RESIDENTS BY DEVELOPING, PROMOTING AND IMPLEMENTING SOLUTIONS FOR SOUND REGIONAL GROWTH. IN 2020 MPC FOCUSED ITS PROGRAMMATIC WORK ON WATER RESOURCES INCLUDING WATER AFFORDABILITY, SAFE DRINKING WATER, AND FLOODING RELIEF; HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT LIKE OUR CORRIDOR DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE AND GOOD NEIGHBORHOODS RESEARCH, AND OUR TRANSIT INITIATIVES SUCH AS UNIVERSAL MOBILITY WHICH INCREASES ACCESS TO TRANSIT, MAKING IT EQUITABLE AND AFFORDABLE.

  Expenses $3,029,906

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

The first 25 listed. Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.
