Chicago Gateway Green is a non-profit public-private partnership established in 1986, focusing on the greening and beautification of Chicago's expressways, gateways, and neighborhoods through initiatives like landscape enhancement, litter and graffiti removal, and public art installation. Since its inception, the organization has planted over 4,000 trees, 130,000 perennials, and 80,150 shrubs while removing 1.5 million pounds of litter from the area's roadways.

The mission of Chicago Gateway Green highlights the benefits of green spaces, as studies show that drivers who view natural roadways experience lower levels of stress and frustration. By engaging in various sponsorship and volunteer programs, the organization aims to foster community involvement and support for a greener, more beautiful Chicago.
