Metropolitan Peace Initiatives

Metropolitan Peace Initiatives (MPI) is a non-profit organization based in Chicago, Illinois. The organization employs six people and generates an estimated $50 million in annual revenue. MPI operates as a division of Metropolitan Family Services and focuses its efforts on supporting the Chicago Police Department's (CPD) Community Policing for Peace (CP4P) initiative. MPI's primary function is to bring together community-based organizations and citywide groups to address the pervasive issue of gun violence in Chicago's most affected neighborhoods. Through collaboration and strategic partnerships, MPI aims to foster healing and safety within these communities. A key aspect of MPI's approach is its focus on community-led solutions. By working closely with local organizations and residents, MPI seeks to empower communities to develop sustainable strategies for reducing violence and promoting peace.
