Our approach to grantmaking

The St. Louis Philanthropic Organization (SLPO) was established in 1984, funded by the proceeds from a settlement with cable television companies. Our funding is dedicated solely to programs that enhance the quality of life for St. Louis City residents.

If you are a nonprofit serving our city's residents, apply for funding. Let's improve St. Louis together.
