Our Board of Directors meets to evaluate grant requests three times a year. Deadlines for submission are as follows: January 1st (Spring meeting) October 1st (Winter meeting) Final decisions are made after the Board has carefully and impartially evaluated the merits of each individual request. Because we hope to support as many worthwhile causes as possible, the Board will only consider one request per year from any given charity.
The Foundation does not support the following types of organizations: political parties or candidates, religious groups promoting specific doctrines, and/or organizations that discriminate on the basis of race, sex, sexual orientation, age or religion. Nor do we assist sports teams, beauty contests, conferences, media productions or any other for-profit ventures. True to our commitment to the greater St.
Louis region, we decline to aid specific individuals or international organizations. Column Container - Container Type: responsiveGrid --> Responsive Grid - Layout Style: columns-50-50. html; Container Resource Type: ehi-core/aem65/components/content/column-container/v1/column-item/>!
