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

St. Louis parks and greenways capital and operating support
Major St. Louis hospitals and children's health institutions
Civic cultural landmarks: zoo, history museum, Muny, PBS station
Youth education, literacy, and college scholarships in St. Louis
National memorials and Everglades restoration outside Missouri
Small safety-net grants: food bank, crisis nursery, family health

Typical grant

The median check is $25,000 and half of all grants fall between $10,000 and $100,000, so most of the 229 grants are modest annual gifts to St. Louis nonprofits. Nearly all the dollars sit in a handful of transformational gifts: $16M to Great Rivers Greenway, $15M each to St. Luke's and St. Louis Children's Hospital, $10M to Forest Park Forever, $6M to the National WWII Memorial. The small and mid-size grants repeat year over year at identical amounts, which is the strongest pattern in the file: Ready Readers at $20,000 twice, Duo Dogs at $25,000 twice, Humane Society of Missouri at $75,000 twice, BioSTL at $100,000 twice.

Their words

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

“ANNUAL FUND - SUPPORT”
“ANNUAL FUND”
“SUPPORT”

Positioning adjacent work

Every grant is coded "ANNUAL FUND - SUPPORT." Ask for unrestricted operating money, not a project budget with line items.
Anchor to a St. Louis landmark or institution they already fund: parks, the zoo, hospitals, or scholarships.
First ask should be $10,000 to $25,000. Seven-figure gifts go to named institutions with existing ties.
If your work is science or innovation, BioSTL at $100,000 twice is the only comparable entry point.

Worth knowing: This is a St. Louis foundation almost exclusively: 194 of 229 grants went to Missouri recipients, and the non-Missouri money is a short repeat list (Everglades Foundation, Friends of the National WWII Memorial, City Parks Alliance, Foundation Fighting Blindness, Evans Scholars). Giving reads as relationship-driven rather than program-driven, with the same 40 or so organizations receiving the same amounts each year and one or two landmark institutions pulled out for an eight-figure gift annually.

Top recipients

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