Ideal Applicant
A small-to-midsize nonprofit with programs in St. Louis/Missouri (or a known connection there) working in culture, education, health, or faith-based community work and with an existing local introduction or track record.
Good Fit
- • Organization is based in Missouri (especially St. Louis) or runs programs there.
- • Mission aligns with cultural, educational, health, or religious purposes.
- • Has an existing relationship, referral, or local intermediary who can introduce the organization.
- • Seeks modest operating or program support consistent with typical small grants.
Geography
Giving is concentrated in Missouri—about 67% of dollars in the latest year—while grants also reached a handful of other states; the footprint is primarily state-level with some out-of-state gifts.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 20 distinct recipients across cultural, education, health, religious and other purposes, and prior years show similar counts, indicating a broad set of independent grantees despite dollar concentration in a few large awards.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of new entrants exists (8 new recipients in 2024 and multi-year turnover), but the foundation states it funds only preselected grantees and there is no public application path, so new entrants appear able to join mainly via recommendation or relationship rather than open submissions.
