Manufacturing Renaissance (MR) is a Chicago-based nonprofit organization, founded in 1982 in effort to address the wide scale loss of manufacturing jobs and its impact on communities.

Today, MR envisions advancing a new paradigm of development that builds thriving communities, companies and social institutions. Working with high road manufacturers, community and labor leaders, we can develop a mix of locally integrated education, training, community and economic development programs.

Together we can expand inclusive prosperity through workforce, economic and wealth creation opportunities among historically disenfranchised communities.
