Our Impact
Our unique role as a community convener allows us opportunities to take leadership and drive change in key areas.
Give STL Day
One day to make a difference.
Give STL Day, powered by the St. Louis Community Foundation, is an online day of giving that takes place in May each year. It is designed to ignite the spirit of giving across the region and support causes in the St. Louis area where we live, work and play. Since inception in 2014, Give STL Day has raised over $30 million for regional nonprofits. For more information, click here.
St. Louis Digital Divide
Addressing the digital divide in our community.
Did you know? Twenty-nine percent of households in the City of St. Louis and 15% of households in St. Louis County do not have high-speed internet subscriptions. The real-life impacts of this inequitable access have long existed but have been emphasized and exacerbated by the current COVID-19 pandemic.
St. Louis Community Foundation and the Center for Civic Research and Innovation (CCRI) have partnered with the community and local key partners in seeking solutions to close the “digital divide” to create equitable access to reliable, high speed internet across the region.
Regional Response Team
Serving local communities disproportionately affected by the coronavirus crisis and its economic fallout.
The St. Louis Community Foundation assembled a coalition of local influential philanthropic chambers, organizations, corporations, foundations and businesses to create the COVID-19 Regional Response Fund, which directs resources to regional nonprofits that are serving local communities disproportionately affected by the coronavirus crisis and its economic fallout.
The Regional Response Team continues to work to build a centralized system of response with the capacity to strengthen the resilience and recovery of the populations most affected by COVID-19 and the structural inequities that amplify its adverse impacts in the Greater St. Louis Region.
Scholarships
Fueling our future.
The St. Louis Community Foundation manages over 60 scholarship funds, which were established by individuals, families, businesses, and organizations. Our scholarships, available on My Scholarship Central, provide tuition assistance and recognition to students as they strive to achieve a wide range of goals through the pursuit of higher education.
Community Conversations
Responding to community needs.
Our region and community is shifting, neighborhoods are changing, and we work to remain abreast of community conversations. Through our #LiveHereGiveHere blog, we encourage collaboration, education, and change while helping funders, nonprofits, and donors address areas of concern and promote overall community well-being.
Through funds focused on a variety of community needs, we convene philanthropic partners to respond quickly and effectively to crises.
