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
- Pooled giving routed through Charities Aid Foundation America donor-advised fund
- Food banks and hunger relief, national networks and local affiliates
- Tree planting and land conservation: Nature Conservancy, Arbor Day Foundation
- Youth development and college access for Black and low-income students
- St. Louis civic anchors: United Way, public schools, Ranken Technical
- Disaster response, veterans and military families, animal welfare
Typical grant
The median grant is $2,500 and half of everything falls between $2,000 and $5,000. Thousands of those small checks go to local food banks, Boys and Girls Clubs, Urban League and 100 Black Men chapters, and community groups near company offices. The big money is a separate world: $1M to $6M to national partners like The Nature Conservancy, Feeding America, United Way of Greater St. Louis, Arbor Day, Girls Inc, UNCF and Fisher House, and those national relationships recur year over year.
Their words
Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.
- “Program Support”
- “Various”
- “Various Public Charities”
Positioning adjacent work
- Anchor to hunger relief or tree planting and conservation, their two clearest national themes.
- Ask $2,500 to $50,000 through a local chapter near a company office, not headquarters.
- For six-figure asks, pitch a national scale partnership like Feeding America or Nature Conservancy.
- Frame the request as program support for direct service, not research or evaluation.
Worth knowing: In 2024 the foundation moved $101.4 million through Charities Aid Foundation America, so most of the money never shows an end recipient on the 990, and the visible grants cluster in California, Florida, Texas, Missouri and Illinois where the company operates. Giving is high volume, small dollar, and looks driven by local office relationships and long standing corporate partnerships rather than by proposal review; almost nothing in the record funds research.
