Illinois Policy is a mid-sized nonprofit think tank based in Chicago, Illinois, that conducts policy research and advocates for reforms aimed at Illinois’ economic challenges. Its focus includes addressing unfunded government-worker pension liabilities, the state’s high tax burden, and the departure of businesses and taxpayers, with the aim of creating conditions for growth and opportunity. The organization frames its work from a free-market perspective, arguing that unleashing talent and entrepreneurial energy can drive Illinois’ comeback. Through its research and policy proposals, it seeks to inform public discussion and contribute to policies that support families and communities across the state.

Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois Policy operates as a mid-sized nonprofit and has expanded its activities through several initiatives. It launched the Center for Poverty Solutions in 2023 to address poverty in Chicago, and the Our Perspective project in 2024 to offer its takes on current topics. In October 2024, the organization also formed a ballot committee to oppose proposed tax increases in Illinois, illustrating its involvement in policy advocacy beyond research. These steps reflect its role in informing policy discussions and presenting alternatives to the status quo as part of its stated goal of supporting Illinois’ economic comeback.
