The Great Places 2020 initiative collected Co-Investment Commitments from partners that are working together to transform these three strategic places. Partners were asked to indicate what they were committed to contributing and, where applicable, identify a dollar amount. These commitments listed below represent a fraction of the planned work in the Great Places, as many partners were not ready to reveal publicly their projects in the works. As of May 10, 2016 more than $84 million has been pledged to Great Places 2020 from over 50 partners.

If the organizations/projects listed are outside the geography but have programs that impact the Great Place, we pro-rated by taking 10% of programs. For Example: With Hawthorne CWF we assumed that 10% of participants in programs where from Great Place, thus 10% of budget was listed. We did not count yet-to-allocate grant opportunities (such as INDI funds, IHCDA, etc) even though several such funders expressed a commitment to prioritize application from the Great Places.
