Ideal Applicant
A Missouri–based (St. Louis region) nonprofit seeking general operating support or project/capital funding with established local impact in areas like youth development, women’s economic stability, arts, environment, or community services.
Good Fit
- • Primary program or services delivered in the St. Louis region or Missouri.
- • Requesting general operating support, program support, or a capital project between roughly $10K and $50K (typical award bands).
- • Clear alignment with stated priorities such as youth/workforce development, women’s economic stability, or local community initiatives.
- • Capacity to follow published application guidelines and to apply through the foundation’s online portal after an introductory email to the Grants Manager.
- • Local reputation or prior relationship with the foundation or other St. Louis funders (helps but is not required).
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in Missouri (about 88% of dollars), but modest out-of-state grants were made to organizations in roughly 14 states; the footprint is regional/state-focused rather than national.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded a large number of distinct organizations each year (88 recipients in 2024, 114 in 2023, 135 in 2022) across arts, health, youth, environment, and community services, and financial concentration is low (top five ~11%).
New Applicants
The foundation publishes guidelines, a deadline, and an online application portal and had a substantial share of new grantees in 2024 (about 26 new recipients); with three years of history and a named grants contact, unfamiliar applicants have a realistic path to apply.
