PREPARING COMMUNITIES, ACTIVATING FUTURES
Introducing our ambitious, 12-month Fundraising & Community Activation Campaign for $25 million to invest over the next 5 years.
ACTIVATION & PREPARATION
The heart of this campaign revolves around two ideas: activation & preparation. By activating resources, partnerships & community participation, Invest STL aims to prepare St. Louis for a future where equitable community development is available to ALL.
Welcome to our capital campaign, setting the stage for the next phase of our twenty-year journey, which has just under eighteen years remaining. Established in 2022 with a commitment to conclude by 2042, Invest STL is creating a timeline that reflects our shared urgency to drive meaningful change within a generation. We are raising $25 million to demonstrate and embody the change we aspire to see. These funds will support the next five years of our journey. Join us in this mission. Invest with us. Invest in St. Louis.
“They are truly walking with people. There’s a phrase: ‘Those closest to the problem are closest to the solution.’ And I feel like that’s how Invest STL leads… That’s not to say that all foundations or grant makers should operate in this way because we all have different priorities and functions. But it is a way that, I think, can be incredibly transformative for St. Louis.”
OUR FUNDRAISING GOAL IS $25 Million,
join our neighbors, business community, and foundations to support:
Invest in generating trust-based, community-driven, and place-based investments focused on nurturing neighborhood leadership, growing capacity and sustainability of neighborhood anchors, supporting resident-driven neighborhood planning, green-lighting catalytic real estate developments, and bolstering hyper local economies.
Invest in identifying and facilitating solutions to systemic issues facing predominantly Black neighborhoods.
Invest in fostering the creation of sustainable systems and structures from local government through regional
intermediaries and networks.
Invest in replacing the current prevailing narratives of predominantly Black neighborhoods with narratives that inspire pride, engagement, personal agency, collaboration, community accountability, and public will.
Invest STL generates trust-based, community-driven and place-based investments.
Our 20 Year Theory of Change focuses our resources and energy to build a thriving ecosystem of leaders, organizations, and neighborhoods to deliver on this vision in one generation and sunset Invest STL by 2042.
