Ideal Applicant
A local or regional nonprofit (often in Missouri) with programs in community services, education, or local faith/educational institutions and with a connection or introduction into the foundation’s local network.
Good Fit
- • Located in Missouri or with demonstrable St. Louis-area ties.
- • Mission in education, community services, or similar local human-service activities.
- • Existing relationship or warm introduction to foundation leadership or previously funded organizations.
- • Capacity to accept mid-sized grants (roughly $1,000–$50,000).
- • Reputation or partnership history with local intermediaries or donor-advised funds.
Geography
Latest observed giving is concentrated in Missouri (about 80% of dollars) but includes awards in three other states, so the footprint is primarily local with limited multi-state activity.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows seven distinct recipients (seven grants), indicating a moderate spread of independent beneficiaries, though dollars are highly concentrated among the top recipients.
New Applicants
Although the latest year’s grants were to new recipients, the foundation explicitly limits grants to preselected recipients and offers no public application route; with two years of behavior showing high concentration and a closed stated process, unsolicited new applicants are unlikely to gain entry.
