ULI counts institutional partners, government agencies, and nonprofits as strategic partners in building thriving and sustainable communities worldwide.
ULI has received numerous grants from institutional foundations with an interest in sustainable development and best practices of land stewardship. ULI has also partnered with federal and state agencies and nonprofit organizations to offer compelling content on topics such as housing, infrastructure, energy efficiency, and transportation.
ULI thanks the following institutional foundations for their steadfast support:
