The Greater Auburn Gresham Development Corporation is a Chicago-based nonprofit founded in 2001 by local community leaders to revitalize Auburn Gresham and nearby underserved communities on the South Side. Guided by the Auburn Gresham Quality of Life Plan, it organizes its work around five pillars of service: business and economic development, education and youth services, health and wellness, housing and senior services, and community engagement. Its efforts target residents and local stakeholders in the South Side, pursuing initiatives across economic development, education, health, housing, and civic participation. Based in Chicago, Illinois, the organization collaborates with partners to implement programs and events at the community level. A notable recent development is the February 2025 unveiling of the Adinkra Tower Sculpture at the Auburn Gresham Healthy Lifestyle Hub, illustrating ongoing efforts to activate public spaces and engage residents.
