Funding pattern

What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.

Where the money goes

Early childhood and youth services across St. Louis metro agencies
Community stability and crisis response, including disaster and disability services
Basic needs: food, shelter, domestic violence, legal aid
Health and well-being, including behavioral health and disease-specific chapters
Jobs and financial mobility through workforce placement agencies

Typical grant

Median grant is about $78,000, with the middle half between $20,000 and $176,000. The seven-figure checks go to the largest established metro-wide agencies like Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis, American Red Cross of Eastern Missouri, Provident, and the Boy Scouts council, while smaller neighborhood centers and single-issue nonprofits land in the $130,000 to $350,000 band or below. With 1,289 grants to only 628 recipients over four years, most funding repeats annually to the same partner agencies.

Their words

Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.

“Community Stability and Crisis Response”
“Early Childhood and Youth Services”
“Basic Needs”
“Health and Well-being”
“Jobs and Financial Mobility”

Positioning adjacent work

Map your work onto one of the five named impact areas verbatim; they code every grant that way.
Anchor to the Missouri and Metro East Illinois service area; 908 of 1,289 grants went to Missouri.
Ask in the $75,000 to $200,000 range unless you are a metro-wide service system.
Emphasize direct service delivery to residents, not research; Washington University's grant was Jobs and Financial Mobility.

Worth knowing: This is a federated fundraising organization redistributing donor and workplace campaign dollars, so giving flows to a stable roster of member and partner agencies rather than to new applicants, and multiple funding streams (CCS, AWD, ALL, TTP) stack onto the same grantee. Geography is tight: greater St. Louis plus Metro East Illinois account for nearly nine in ten grants, and the California, Texas and Alabama recipients are outliers.

Top recipients

Repeat recipients are the strongest signal of whether a funder has an open door or quietly re-funds the same organizations.
