Ideal Applicant
501(c)(3) organizations with clear ties to Missouri (especially St. Louis) working in health, hospitals, medical research, education, community services, or capital/event campaigns; both small program grants and larger project/capital requests have been funded.
Good Fit
- • A Missouri-based charity or a project benefiting the St. Louis region.
- • Health care, hospital programs, or medical research initiatives.
- • Capital campaigns, visitor center or endowment requests, and event sponsorships.
- • Ability to submit a clear written request with program description and budget.
- • Track record of local partnerships or referrals from previously funded organizations.
Geography
Grants reached organizations in about a dozen states, but giving is heavily concentrated in Missouri, which received 86% of the dollars in the latest year, indicating an effectively state-focused footprint with some out-of-state awards.
Recipient Variety
The latest year included 40 distinct recipients and 46 grants with a mix of small awards and several large multi-hundred-thousand and million-dollar grants, showing a broad and diverse recipient set for the foundation's size despite dollar concentration in a few top grantees.
New Applicants
Observed behavior shows many new grantees (24 new recipients in the latest year, ~60%), and the foundation publishes application guidance and a contact route, so unfamiliar applicants appear to have a plausible path into the portfolio despite some large recurring awards.
