COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Nicor Illinois Community Investment collaborates, convenes and creates with intention.

Nicor Illinois Community Investment (NICI) convenings are designed to bring people together across the funding and nonprofit sectors. Our events welcome individuals and institutions that share the vision of economic opportunity for everyone in Northern Illinois. These are opportunities to connect and complement each other’s programs, thereby expanding our collective impact. Additionally, NICI sponsors events that amplify local voices and foster community-led work throughout the region.
